Welding grade O2 (again)

bazlowes · 8th November 2006, 08:11

Sorry if this has been asked before but I have access to 4 No. J size welding oxygen cylinders. Can this or does anyone use this in a rebreather if so when can I get a fitting to decant from these cylinders.

I think its about £25 and screws on the end of your whip.As for your welding grade O2 it works,but i am sure someone will come along and say no .

I have been diving with my welding oxygen for over 3 years now. Up to now all is ok.

Used nothing but welding O2 for about 8 years now on OC and CC.

Why use welding grade when diving grade is only £18 per J ?( + vat)

If i'm correct, and I may not be, Welding is supplied at 200bar and diving is supplied at 120bar. At least it is in Ireland.

Pardon? I assume you own your own J's then for us mere mortals it too expensive to contemplate.
