Default Re: M26 valves

As I understand it, any tank (and hence first stage) being filled with
a mix of higher than 22% Oxygen needs to have an M26 valve fitted to
it, which has a slightly larger fitting than yer average DIN. The
logic behind it appears to be to prevent a reg not suited for high
levels of O2 being used with high levels of Oxygen by mistake.

If you're right, that's going to be really unpopular. This means that all
regulators formerly used for Nitrox will have to be modified to be used in
the future and that, once modified, they will no longer be usable on other
valves. It also means that nobody bringing their regulators on a visit to
the UK will be able to use nitrox or . . .

Wow, what a mess that's going to be.

Better you than me.
