I'm going to try and make it, it sounds like fun. I always like to dive, and this sounds like a good excuse. I'm going to be there this wednesday or thursday if it warms up any.

Where are you getting these at $39???Meister481:I'm building my own mixing whip and I'm thinking there has to be a cheaper DIN/bleeder $39 assembly and flow control $39 assembly than I've found so far. Anyone have a good supplier? The one I'm bulding is modular using quick connects so it can be used with my booster and inert gasses as well as oxygen.
Jimmer:I was picking up a few items for a project for work, and I noticed a local industrial supply place has 5ksi hydraulic fittings (tees, elbows, plugs, etc.) really inexpensively, but they are not brass or stainless, they are carbon steel, with a really nice quality zinc plating on them. Is there any reason why these would be unsuitable for O2 whip use?

That's all I needed to know, I'll stick to the brass ones.oxyhacker:Yes. They can spark and they can burn.
And that's why I love this site Now I wasn't planning on using their hoses, but yes I had considered tees, elbows, etc. But I'll can that plan and make sure I use brass or stainless parts for O2 service. Thanks for the info guys.pescador775:Hydraulics are tempting but are crap. Hose is too stiff, fittings are big and clunky, and made of flammable components, as "Hacker" said.
Packhorse:I use a hydraulic 5700psi hose with steel fittings for a air transfer whip. It was cheap and readily avaliable and I just screw it into the hp port of a couple of old 1st stages.
But I would never use it for O2 for obvious reasons.
