    Default WTB-Looking for Steel tanks

    I'm looking for the following:
    Steel tanks only in sizes HP130, HP133, LP108, LP104, HP100, LP85

    can be singles or doubles but i'm going to be picky on the manifolds if setup as doubles. I prefer thermo's or similar non face seal type isolators. I live in orlando and can meet you in cave country. Please send me a PM if you have anything you would like to part with. Tanks must have recent hydro. Visuals dont' have to be up to date but they must be passable and rust free. I'm going to clean them anyway. I will want to take a look inside of them if at all possible.

    I've got two Worthington LP85's. Out of hydro now but can take care of that before sale. I am planning a trip to FL in February. Just something to keep in mind. Might even have Highland bands but no mani.

    Out of curiosity what is the difference between "non face seal type isolators" and whatever the other type of isolator is(face seal type?)?

    O.M.S. has or had a single o ring type manifold that sealed on the face of the iso and valve , you can recognize them by the very large fitting that is used for tightening.(my personal preference). The "barrel style " employes a male and female fitting with two or three o rings. D.H.

    Yeah, the captured o-ring design is like a DIN first stage - the o-ring has no place to extrude into. But about fifteen years ago the tech diving community was able to be convinced the barrel type is a better design.

    Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.

    I actually have a lot of experience designing very high pressure O-ring seals for various aerospace and military applications. When possible I prefer the radial/barrel type seal. Just my experience.

    Still looking but I need to match a PST 104 have as a single. Also still looking for other doubles for the right price. Lastly looking for good condition thermo manifolds and used 2.5" bands. Let me know what you got.
