 Thanks everyone,It might be easiest & safest in my case ( 1 person sub ) to just shut off theBottles & reach inside the hull & bleed air & O2 from there.It saves putting another fitting in line that may leak. Also there may be thePossibility of leaving the purge valve open, although no doubt you would hearIt when you turned the air on! Alan

Alan,My O2 tanks are outside and I have a O2 cleaned 1st stage to knock it down to LP before coming into the sub so I bought a CGA 540 to go onto the bottle and then a bleed fitting that goes to that like I think you are looking for then a machined fitting with O ring like a scuba tank valve that my 1st stage reg attaches to. Go to "thescubadiversstore.com" and then type in the search bar 46335 and it will pull up a bleed part but the one I have does not the have threaded port for a gauge. The guy was really great to work with and good prices as well. This will get you started and when I get to me shop, I'l look up the part number that doesn't have the gauge port and get that to ya.Rick

Hi,
Just wondering if people use / have an external valve to purge air / O2 from the 
system to enable the removal of the first stage yoke from the tank.
With a dive set up you just press the second stage purge valve.
