Incorporating a completely new internal design, heavy duty spindle with double ‘o’ ring and backup ring for total sealing and smooth operation.

The spindle has a large 7.5mm square drive along with the 15.7mm diameter Teflon coated threaded seat with a polyamide insert.

The new valves are operated by a large 40mm diameter tactile grip handwheel, and the valve body is temperature stress relieved after machining which eliminates the risk of stress cracking in later service.

The valve is designed and manufactured in accordance with CE97/23, CE99/36, EN ISO 10297:2006 & UNI EN250 (Thread Form M25 x 2), including full certification for CE O2 adiabatic compression tests together with Pi mark impact testing.

Faber’s Cylinders are appreciated worldwide by scuba divers who choose steel tanks for their aqua-lung apparatus. To give you the lightest (and hence an optimum wall thickness) steel tanks (cylinders) with an ideal buoyancy, our scuba diving cylinders are diligently manufactured using high quality steel plates. If you are already using steel cylinders when diving you don’t need to be convinced about the advantages of steel. Beside the buoyancy attractions, it occupies a far lower volume for the same water capacity allowing you to enjoy greater space and freedom and free from any worries of developing any premature defects such as sustained load cracking (SLC) found in some aluminium alloy cylinders such as those from alloys AA6351, AA6082, which could limit the life of your cylinder.
