--------------C50377FC45EC6D63230564EF Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I was amazed how many mixed opinions i got about 300 Bar valves. To me it seems 300 Bar was a marked improvement on a already good thing. Most of the negative stuff comes from over the pond. They feel they have the most experience with DIN. This is what one guy wrote in response to my comment that "Only an Idiot would not use 300 Bar valves if gives the choice" He writes:. "not really; 300 bar equipment is not recommended by many senior explorers; 300 equipment suffers more slitage if used with gases compressed at such pressure; also they are prompt to fail more often underwater, they cost more and there are less manufacturers (most are in Europe)." Maybe you guys are confused I am using 300 BAR valves but rarely pump my tanks over 200 BAR or who the fuck started this BAR shit anyway lets just say 3000 PSI. Why would they be more prone to fail its little more than a few more threads on the DIN. My response is stop using shitty valves and trying to crank your tanks to 5000 and you be OK. I believe 300 BAR is the way to go at reasonable tank Pressures.
