Subject: Re: Dry suit inflator system
He just called. He and Mount will come by here on their way back up to
wherever. On the reg, it does not seat up properly internally, and it
cuts loose or grabs intermitantly. There is some kind of copper ring
inside that it uses to seat itself, and that is a hit or miss
proposition. I have one and have to hold it together with my hand while
I turn it on to keep it from blowing gas everywhere. You need a strong
hand, one that can apply more than the intermediate pressure of the reg.
Pick up a bathroom scale and see what you can make it read with your
hands. I use mine to blow the suit up with another bottle prior to the
dive, not in the water. I use one of my very best regs for an argon reg
- if it does not work, the dive does not work.
