them?????

Re: Cylinder Valves

I'd take my valves so I'm sure my config is as usual. Just make sure the neck threads are the same: M25x20 in the UK. In Truck it could very well be the US tanks with 3/4-14 NPSM thead.

Re: Cylinder Valves

Jeff,

I'd take your own valves to be sure, but I know some people have used Inspiration-valved cylinders on their Megs when travelling.

It just means you have to reach a bit further around the back in the event of a shutoff.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Re: Cylinder Valves

i own 2 inspo cylinders that i bought here in Sharm el Sheikh because we dont have any suppliers for right and left hand valves, i've been using them for almost 1 year now and got used to them, i took my instructors cylinders to try them on the other day didn't feel a bit of a difference.

when u set up the tanks don't straighten the valves looking up if ur horizontal instead make a bit of a tilt towards each side so that the valves are tilting away from the canister.

don't bother taking ur cylinders over and just use the inspo. cylinders if u have any questions please pm

Keep finning

Good to hear that Mousa. Not that I don't trust you but a picture would be welcome. Question: what regs are you using? Apeks or Scubapro?

I have de-inverted tank set-up, and successfully used the AP bottles in my Truk dive experience.

Have a great trip.
