Default Source for oxygen fill valve

Think psi, not total. What's the pressure on that ~1/4 inch diameter valve
at 2,200 psi? About 107 lb.

Okay, I'm just being my normal cheap-ass self here. Wings and Wheels has
the fill valve I want on page 36 (Aerox PB (Schreder) In-line Fill
Valve - for 34 bucks. That seems... um, a bit high. Is it that special?
Thanks


Nothing wrong with shopping around. Suggest try Aerox direct, as they
have great customer service, or perhaps Spruce, Skygeek, Chief,
Wickes, etc.

Hello, if it makes the cost from Tim easier to accept, M&H wants
$50.00, also as trivia, while the fill valve would see 2200psi on a
full fill, the typical "jumbo D" 5.25X19 inch bottle at that pressure
is containing 640,000 lbs of force, not subtracting the ambient 1
atmosphere. WOW,


Good Lift,
