[PSUBS-MAILIST] Cliff are you there?

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Alec, Cliff,there is the vent hole in the handle section & there is the small relieving valve.Water will come in the vent hole & enter the handle section.My concern was that if the regulator wasn't mounted upside down then you wouldhave water sitting up against the relieving valve. The differential pressure between the air & water will be less as the valve begins to close & a small amount of water could get in. The less moisture in there the better, so mounting upsidedown orhaving a tube off the vent hole some how would be a better option.Hugh was on the same page re mounting upsidedown.Cheers Alan

I did not.  I mounted mine horizontally for clearance reasons.  My thinking is that I set the downstream pressure to be just above ambient pressure.  So when descending the regulator should be supplying air just above water pressure.  Don't see any chance for water entering the vent hole in this state.  When ascending,  air should be venting from the hole so don't see how water gets in during this state as well.  So I don't see a state in which water is going into the vent hole.  
As I have had only one dive with this regulator can't really say to much on operating experience.  
When I get back from Australia, I plan to take the boat out for a 150 ft dive so I should get more experience with the regulator then.
Regards  Cliff

Thank you! BTW Alan mentioned it had to be mounted upside down with a little tube from a hole in the knob going downward, to prevent water from entering the regulator. Did you bother to do that?
Best,
Alec

Hi Cliff,
If you get this could you contact me offline please? I've been emailing you but getting no response, but I'm not sure I have the right address, I've a bunch of them.
Thanks,
Alec
