How to fully remove Counter Lung manual addition valves...

diverklondike · 24th December 2006, 17:54

Can anyone that has fully removed the O2 and or diluent manual add valves from their counter lungs let me know if you used a special tool to do so? It looks like some type of oversized allen key would do the trick. If so can you let me know what size you used.

Have a great holiday! Mark

13mm Allan key and I think the thread is opposite to normal ie clockwise to unscrew (no totally sure though)

I thought only women can't tell the difference between 13 and 22mm, or is it 6 and 12 inches ?

It is 13mm... and opposite thread.
