[PSUBS-MAILIST] scuba reg problem

[Keith Gordon via Personal_Submersibles]

The Sherwood regulator has been found to be a goodt regulator for use in the Arctic/Antarctic - possibly due to excluding water from balance chamber and preventing freezing

Sherwood first stages use a dry air bleed system which constantly vents a miniscule amount of gas, instead of allowing seawater into the balance chamber. While this works, it makes it difficult to distinguish the bleed from a problematic leak.

>> I bought a scuba regulator set for emergency breathing.  When I pressurize the system, the first stage regulator is venting out a small vent on the side of the regulator.  The vent hole has no threads, so I assume! it is a vent.  The amount of air is very slight, is this thing screwed.  It works fine otherwise
