Does this sound correct to you folks? Nope, sounds like BS. My wholesalers, Diver Supplies and Divetek (don't know whether they are the same as companies in the USA) don't have any problem supplying me with any combination. Why the heck should they? Get a better retailer! Yes, they are correct that both should be tested as a unit. Question from me: Received a cylinder from Divetek, think a Faber 10.4 litre aluminium with a Sherwood pillar valve. Standard M20x25 thread on both, but nobody wants to visual it here! More bs? Standard answer is that units doesn't belong together, but work pressure rating and threads are okay.
