NEW LP120 BETTER HURRY 5 DAY SALE

[Roland]

http://www.piranhadivemfg.com/products.html <------ site is a bit strange.


Click Specials and then click Thanksgiving specials 211.00 quoted me 25 to ship to my work address.

[threw-er-back]

OMG!! Thats a GREAT deal !

[Roland]

I noticed after I posted that, the price is going to be 216.00 for awhile but I wouldn't count on it.

It however does away with the PST and Worthington EXEMPTION issue. When Either one of those companies go away so do the authorization for rehydro.


If I had the cash I would buy these and sell these E-series tanks.

[Teh Wicked]

The description says its rated at 3180psi with a 10% overfill of 3498. which keep sit below a DIN only valve reg. of 3500psi, But I was under the impression a LP cyclinder was a 2400psi with a 10% overfill which would make it 2650psi right?

granted, it very tempting none the less to buy one at that price. Hell you could buy it, use it for a year and sell it for a profit next Christmas time.

[The Collector]

Yeah, those are HP120's not LP120's. Still not a bad deal.

[Sasquatch]

Yeah, those are HP120's not LP120's. Still not a bad deal.

Here are the specs comparing it to an E7:

Manufacturer & Nominal Capacity Service pressure, psi Actual air capacity, cu. Ft. (at +10%) Outer diameter, in Length without valve, in Empty weight, lbs Buoyancy Empty, lbs (w/valve) Buoyancy Full, lbs (w/valve)
Faber 120 3180 +10% 120 7.25 28.64 48.3 -7.22 -16.22
PST E7-120 3442 PSI 120 7.25 28.25 38 0 -10.5

It's certainly heavy like a LP tank- but about the size as the HP120.

Talked to the guy. These are MID pressure tanks not LP or HP smaller valve stem...basically a HP with a smaller valve stem

[Sasquatch]

The only downside I see is that you'll need to get the '+' done every hydro. The '+' (10% overfill), contrary to conventional wisdom, can be done at every hydro, not just the original.

They have a regular 3/4 valve thread on them, here are the specs from Blue Steel.

Does anybody know what kind of DOT stap these have?

[Roland]

Yeah, those are HP120's not LP120's. Still not a bad deal.

You are correct but if you look at the spec's these tanks will feel like one on your back.

[threw-er-back]

either way a great deal...

[Wayward Son]

the exemption does not depend on the company staying in business. there is a provision for owners to have it extended should they go under.

Please show it to me. I have hunted through the Hazmat site till my eyes were bleeding.

Or are you referring to someone or entity having the ability to apply for the permit (as a company) to continue the use of the cylinders? Lengthy and expensive.

[Wayward Son]

there was info on this posted elsewhere. don't recall which site but I read it & it didn't look like that big a deal.

[Wayward Son]

I'll see if I can find it. This was a while back, when there was a lot of concern that PST might go under, so maybe 2 years or so?

[From The Sea]

picked up a pair of them and a manifold there gonna be a nice set of doubles

[Sasquatch]

Doubles?! They're 48.3# each, empty. I hope you have a winch to get you in and out of the boat.
