Button Guages

I'm assuming that these are not O2 compatible. Can anyone confirm either way
as I've had conflicting advice.

cheers

My buddy uses them on his high mix deco reg with no problem, next time
I see him I'll ask if he got O2 ones or just ignored it

I assume you mean the small gauges like those produced by AP Valves
produces. I use those on my O2 stage and for what it is worth, I had no
problems with it. You might want to call the manufacturer.

I don't know what the official line is but having seen two go pop I really would
not like that to be HP Oxygen up the back of them. I like the one I have on
the suit bottle but I always turn it on gingerly as that's when two (belonging
to other people) burst. Argon, no worries, air probably quite safe, what nitrox
to stop at - your call.

Thnaks All for the replies, I've dropped Beaver a line for their advice but
I'm pretty sure they're not going to say anything more than 40% to cover
themselves.

Nick,

I just spoke with Ambient Pressure Diving. They sell the Buddy gauges.
Normally, these are not O2 clean, but if you ask for it specifically, they
can do that. You can call APD directly (ask for Nicky...) and they will post
it to you.

Hope this helps.

Rgs,

Niels

Surely they're sealed units so all they can really do is clean the
connector?!

Surely if they are sealed units you just throw them in the cleaning bath,
make sure the gunk has gone down the pipe, buzz them for the required
time and dry them thoroughly making sure all the gunk is out again.

That's clean.

Oxygen clean isn't like surgically sterile where contamination is assumed
unless proved otherwise. You can touch things that are oxygen clean. We
just done want a smear of grease from the assembly process left there.

Brownies Southport, the original factory outlet for Halcyon equipment, put
one on the 100% O2 tank they sold me. After a couple of years, it has not
exploded yet.
