Subject: RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Scuba tank hook up
Get a fill whip end, just what you need. Plain
scuba yoke with a ¼” NPT (I think) on the other end. Any
dive shop should be able to order one for you.

Sorry for the omission.
The Tanks will be external and all I would need is HP. I have
regulators inside and
the ability to crank em up to 250 psi. I guess what I am looking for
is yoke type with out
the regulator.

External or internal? And are you set up
for high pressure or not? HP air can be had with a simple yoke (like a first
stage without the regulator). If you need lower pressure, then the first stage
will work fine. George carried his internally, which was an issue at depth
because scuba first stages can only be cranked up to about 150-160 pounds.
Externally, you get that over ambient, which gives you full flow. The only
other issue is flow. The 1st stage arrangement is pretty slow.

What have any of you
done to hook up standard SCUBA tanks for HP air source.
Originally I was using a
large steel tank. It is just too heavy to handle and I am
switching to
twin Aluminum 100 tanks.
I am thinking a scuba
first stage regulator is used with an adaptor at the thru hull
