Rating: Tank is Great, didnt come with the valve
Reviewer: Timothy K., - View all my reviews
The tank is a high quality Luxfer aluminum tank. It came Oxygen clean and in perfect condition. Hydro was only 11 months old. Ive added a Thermo DIN valve and set it up as an O2 stage tank. Great tank, will last for years.
The tank was supposed to come from the manufacturer with a K valve. This one did not. Scuba.com wanted pictures of the box and a ton of other information to make good on the valve. But, Im not in the USA and I just dont have the patience for all that faffing about from 10,000 miles away. If you MUST have the K valve, you might be rolling the dice on getting it with this product.
