Drager Steel Tank

firemandiver · 20th October 2007, 18:36

When I got my Dolphin it came with a stock steel tank and valve. The tank is used but is in good shape and has a 5/07 hydro and current vip. I am going to be using AL 30's so I don't need the steel tank/valve. If anyone has a US Drager valve (3/4 threads) they want to get rid of please let me know. If you like the steel tanks and need one, PM me with any questions. If you have a 3/4 thd valve I'll swap the complete tank/valve for a valve only. Also, does anyone make a bushing or adapter to allow for the use of the 18mm thd valve in a standard 3/4 thd tank? Thanks for the help, FD.

Why not just convert your reg to DIN so you can use standard DIN valves on the tanks, and be done with all the weird valve nonsense for once and for all? Tecme sells the parts.

HI,
I second get in contact with Martin at TECME, he will be
able to sort out tank valves & any other parts you may
need for your Dolphin.

Thanks for the input guys. I may ultimately end up going that route, but I've already invested $$$ in the Drager valves. It would not be very economical to scrub it all and start over. If I had known beforehand I may have done differently. FD

When you have flogged the tanks, you can get a DIN adaptor for the Drager first stage, or an adaptor that fits between the cyl valve and the Drager thread.

Worked out a trade with another Rebreather World member. Is this a great site, or what?
Thanks everyone!

4Ster swapped an adaptor for a ride on your fire engine?

Na,

I R an Engineer! (Or was)

I volunteered at my local fire department for 7 years (then moved). I was amazed that they were actually foolish enough to let me drive the rigs and operate the pumps (after going to school).

Man I miss that fire department!

Firemandiver and I did trade tanks and valves, this is a great site!

I'm working at the Fire Services College at Moreton In The Marsh at the moment, they have soem great set ups there-from oil rigs to collaped buildings to level crossing [road crossing railway track] accidents.

All the women in the office [bar one] want to come on site to ogle the firemen!
