Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Adapter for scuba regulator first stage

You might consider this ... instead of adapting to the existing valve ...how about removing it and screwing the scuba valve into it's spot.

I'm hoping some of you guys can help me out here...

I'm designing and building a 2 man ambient dry sub.  I'll be carrying scuba tanks in the cabin, mostly for emergency or excursion.  For blowing ballast tanks etc., I plan on carring two (large commercial welding tank size) compressed air cylinders externally.

The cylinders available in that size have a valve that looks a lot like a faucet.  I want to hook a scuba regulator first stage to this valve.  I will need an adapter to do it.

Is anything like that available?  If yes, where?  If not, how hard would it be to design and fabricate such an adapter?  I suspect a CAD would help?  Does anybody else need anything like this?

Feedback please!
