Same ones that we sell. These are not the same "Hot Dipped Galvanized" as the old Pressed Steel or Worthingtons. This is still a poly coated cylinder with epoxy paint. If these get scratched, they can still rust.
 
Faber is making galvanized cylinders, but they're not hot dipped, it's a flame spray process. You can order them from DRIS's web site. While everyone seems to have an opinion about the relative longevity of cylinders made using this process, I think that time is the only thing that will show us how good it is.

Yes, I know, we sell the same ones. These are not Hot Dipped, which is why I asked the OP the question.
 
Frank: You have many customers here on SB. I don't think you have these in stock (at least not yet).

Not yet, but I am on it now.... Trying to see if these are a DGX exclusive or not. Stay tuned...

According to the DRIS www site, they ARE hot-dipped galvanized tanks.
 
I just heard that these Faber Hot Dipped Galvanized cylinders will be introduced at DEMA.
Some dealers got them early. We should have them soon after DEMA....
