Thank you DA and DRIS. DA, i have found your posts to be insightful as well as authoratative so thanks for your breakdown. I'm suspicious because i have purchased other sherwood regs and NONE of them came pre assemled and had lp inflator hoses. Now I can't speak about the SR1 as this is my first however, to not come with a generic Lp inflator hose as well as assembled gives me pause for it to be suspect. I would like to hear from sherwood or another person that has purchased one to confirm my suspicions before I tirade down at the dive shop.
When I was last in Florida couple of weeks ago, I visit scuba network, they show me the SR1 straight out for the box, and the 1st and 2nd stage were connect with the lp hose, no lp bc hose. It looks like a very nice reg. Enjoy
Thank you for the info. This was just out of my usual experience so I had to question it. No other reg I have purchased has come pre-assembled (sherwood, oceanic) or without the inflator hose.
SPG's, SPG/depth gauge combos and air integrated computers all come with the high pressure hose.
Now, if you look at it from that perspective it all makes sense.
