What bottles to use with a biopak?

KISSit! · 13th October 2006, 01:20

I got a BP60a to tinker with off of the craigslist, and boy do I have some questions! I'll start with an easy one, what kind of bottles do I have to use with this contraption? Will medical o2 cylinders work, and what size?

thanks! ben

Welcome to the world of ‘homebuilders’!

First: Know your ppO2 or die. Do I have your attention?

Second: The BP60 O2 REGULATOR is manufactured to accept only a VALVE compatible w/ a standard medical pin index O2 valve.

Last: Any bottle w/ said valve that will physically fit the space will work. The bottle that will give you the most O2 in the volume is the standard BP60/ BP45 bottle (same bottle)

Good luck and read the archives.

Best,
Ken
