    Regulator Identification

    Hello,
    I have a regulator that resembles a Dive Rite RG1200 or 1205. I have been trying to figure out who made this regulator since there are many manufacturers with the same design. The HP seat closely resembles a Diverite, however there are a few subtle differences in the reg that I have in hand, and what I see illustrated in the repair manual (black trim ring between body and turret, and groove around the diaphragm cap). I have enclosed a few pictures of the outside and the inside of the regulator, as they should be helpful. Any information you could lend would be appreceiated. I have already heard back from zeagle that it is not theirs, and am waiting on word from Apex.

    Is there a serial number on it anywhere and if so what direction does it run?

    There is a serial number on the reg, however that is not in the same location as I see illustrated in the Dive Rite Repair manual. On the reg I have, the serial number is between the HP ports, opposite the inlet fitting (05020057). Whereas the regulators depicted in the repair manual have what appears to be a serial number between a HP port and the inlet fitting.

    Hi,

    The reg is not a Dive Rite. We've never sold one with the black ring and the serial number doesn't match up with our records. Wish I could help.

    I just don't log dives
    I believe it's called Promate Tornado. I think it was made by the same ODS(ODS) guys that make half of the regs on the market today.
