Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Scuba tank hook up



Fill whip that's the thingy. Thanks much I think my brain is going dead.
That one should have been easy. And yup Vance that is what I am doing. That was the
original idea with the big tank just kinda float it in hehee right.

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

connection.

 

Appreciate any help
