[PSUBS-MAILIST] scuba reg problem

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
if we are talking about a first stage regulator that will be on the bottle outside
the hull, you will have to turn it on before the dive.

It is a Sherwood regulator, so  I can assume it is normal .  I will only turn it on in the event of a smoke filled sub.
Thanks


Hank

The exception to this would be if the reg is a Sherwood. Sherwood first stages use a dry air bleed system which constantly vents a miniscule amount of gas, instead of allowing seawater into the balance chamber. While this works, it makes it difficult to distinguish the bleed from a problematic leak.

>>I bought a scuba regulator set for emergency breathing.  When I pressurize the system, the first stage regulator is venting out a small vent on the side of the regulator.  The vent hole has no threads, so I assume! it is a
vent.  The amount of air is very slight, is this thing screwed.  It works fine otherwise
