Titan...what is this?

[buddhasummer]

Can someone advise what's going on in the bottom photo, it's of a older Titan first stage, I've never seen an inlet that looks like this. Thank you.

it is a discontinued older version of the filter washer. part number 124627. you can either replace with the newer 124628 washer or use as-is.

Awesome, mystery solved, thank you.

Yeah, its a filter. that's how both mine look.

Knew I'd get the answer if I posted. Gotta love the good folks on SB, a wealth of almost immediate knowledge. Thank you guys.

Another question if I may...does anyone know if the Titan HP crowns is shared by any other models? The part number is solely allocated to the Titan but I've learnt numbers change even if the part does not. Just wondering long term viability. I prefer them to the conshelf and am in the process of swapping Connies for Titans. In fact am considering swapping all my first stages for Titans. Cheers.

I wonder if there's any functional difference between the two versions? I'm guessing not.

Legends have same crown (122224) and HP seat (124624) than Titan ( maybe newer version is diferent, but oldest, not, see below)

These older models of the Titans 1sts are very good and extremely reliable.
I still would see that I could change the filter rings for the newer ones, because simply the area which can absorb possible dirt from the tank is bigger.
I think that's the reason AL changed the design.
The flat filter design is anyway not so perfect, because it has a smaller filter area than for example the usual conus design.
And concerning worries about the orifices, you know that if you don't need it extremely fast, you can get from me any parts from SP, AL, Apeks, Cressi, Sherwood, DiveRite and XS Scuba.
Just in case......

Thanks Thomas, appreciate the info and the offer.
