ray bypass ccr conversion

**jmurba** · 11th March 2008, 20:48

Hi,

I have a ccr "dolphin".
I kept the dolphin by pass without using the jets of course.
my problem is I recently re-tuned my mp to 9.5 bars instead of 11 to avoid my bottom gas bail out reg to leak...the result is that the dolphin ADV became very hard to trigger
so I bought a ray bypass to get something smoother but I have to clog the orifice .
has anybody done it ?
how
I want to get info from guy that did it not ideas from guys that did not did it
thanks
jean mi

I bought a replacement part with no flow from tecme.de
Cost something like 30 € a few years ago. It looked very much like an original part from Dräger, even came in a small sealed bag with Dräger sticker and its own product number (don't remember the number or name of the part). Never had any issue with it.

So buy one from Tauchen - Cave, Nitrox, Rebreather Ausbildung, Tec Ausrüstung, Reisen

Had some friends that thought about sealing their bypass unit with epoxy but they both wisely decided to buy the right part from tecme instead.

Done it a number of times. Very simple.
Get some wire similar to the orifice size you have and solder it in. then coat it in two pack resin.
Have fun, and dont forget to test it thoroughly.

You can take the piece out of the dolphin bypass and put it in the ray. It is the same piece, but without the little bypass hole(s).

All i did with my ray valve was to weld the hole up,as long as you scrape off the chrome you can do a nice little silver solder job on it and best of all you can do it for almost no cost

Jean,

Got mine welded just as the last post did. Works like a charm and took all of 2 minutes for my welder friend and he did it for free.
