Subject:RE>>ARGON SYSTEM                        Sent on: 26/5/95   3:05 pm
Gary McGee (GMcGee1@tc*.pt*.fo*.co*) talked about DIY argon cylinders - 

If you are putting together your own Argon inflate system from pony + std scuba
reg - make sure you fit a pressure releif valve on one of the low pressure
ports on the 1st stage.  Reason being if for any reason the 1st stage fails (or
freezes) you could get upto 200 bar (3000 PSI) in the low pressure hose going
to your suit - its possible it will force open the suit valve and you inflate
(very fast)

The pressure releif valve needs to be set about 10 psi above the interstage
pressure of the 1st stage
