Drager 2004-2005 bottle

Tom,

I ended up buying the last Drager bottle on ebay. Can you please double check if the fill setup you recommended from ebay is really the one I need!?

If that is the one, I think I am going ahead and order it.I don't remember how much the other one was you recommended (using my phone now and can't really look it up), but this one looks better. If I remember correctly, this one has the "more decide" gauge... I might remember wrong though.

Thanks again for all the help!!!

P.s. if you can think of a cheaper fill setup, please let me know... 😊😊😊

Joe B sells that for $149 and $14.50 shipping.

Lots of guys have an extra just laying around. (from when they buy a new tiger shark with din 300) When I got mine I put a WTB ad on a couple different forums and had 3 or 4 offer. I got mine (a used Joe B) for $100 shipped in perfect shape.

His site is a PIA to find stuff but if you scroll down (about 3/4 way down) thru all the print till you get to "SCBA HOSE ASSEMBLY"

"T3PRanch"The fill assembly on e-bay is direct from Joe B. n6yyo is his call sign. It is a bit higher for him to cover his e-bay fees I am sure.

Copy that...

BTW, is that wheel on the bottom of the fill assembly (as seen on the above picture) the bleeding (or whatever it is called) valve?

Thanks,

Yes it is - you tighten that valve, fill the gun and then open that valve quickly so that it releases the air pressure inside the hose. That's so that these is no pressure when you release the foster.
 
"kmd1984"I figured. Kinda like on a hand pump...

Someone mentioned that the Drager tank has a high flow valve on it, and that I should be careful when filling the gun. How careful do you have to be!?

Thanks,

Just open valve slowly and watch it. When it gets close turn it off. As long as you don't just go opening it like the shower faucet you should be fine.
