Subject: help-rigging o2 bottle
From: <Andrew_Cohen_at_~NMFS-ENFNW@cc*.af*.no*.go*>

     I want to rig a small O2 bottle for a shallow decompression gas. Can 
     anyone help me out?

     Should I purchase a medical O2 bottle and try to rig it with a scuba 
     valve? Will either an old-style 1/2" scuba valve or a modern valve fit 
     the O2 threads? 

     Or, should I detacate a small scuba pony for O2 use?  If so, how do I 
     get the tank filled? 

     Will a welding supply store have the necessary adaptors to connect to 
     scuba valve?  (I am assuming that welding O2 is as good as medical 
     O2). 

     Luxfer has a tchnical bulletin that recomends that their scuba tanks 
     not be filled with O2.  I suspect that they are trying to avoid 
     liability.  Does anyone know if it really matters?
