Anyone know a manufacturer that might make a K-Valve to fit it? All of the cylinders are in great shape and were last hydro'd in 2003.
Any help?

Low pressure SCBA probably use CGA 346 fitting. You can probably find an adapter. I would ask your LDS if they are Global Manufacturing dealer and order it from them. Global does not sell to the public.
Having said that if your tank is fibre wrapped it should not be used for scuba as salt water can cause corrosion under the wrap. Also the tank will be ridiculously bouyant. Also since it only holds about 35 cuft I ask, why bother?
