Scba tank

[Mangoesbroke]

Any idea if this would be a good tank to use

I think it's only rated to 2216 psi.

What is the date on it ? ?

No, you want composite tank.

Not sure the psi rating just found it local and priced pretty cheap figured I'd get some input before buying it

No it would not. You know it is 2216 because it is stamped in the Aluminum (which is Scuba). Pop on over to the fill em up section and look around perhaps.

Find a carbon fiber SCBA rated @ 4500psi. Anything else is an exercise in frustration for you. Buy appropriately & correctly the 1st time.

DOT 3AL2216 = Aluminum 2216psi (run away!)

If you look at the tank companies they do sell low pressure SCBA tanks, even carbon fiber ones, so you have to pay close attention. Here's Luxfer's table for example: https://www.luxfercylinders.com/products/scba/lcx-composite-scba-cylinders#

Thanks for the info

Not only a SCUBA, our Scott Air Packs (SCBA's) at work use these, dang it. Be sweet if they were 4500 CF though. Pretty common in the private sector (Oil Co's) anyway.

I got my SCBA tank from this outfit in Utah.

They don't come with a valve. I got a TJ3 Slo-Flo valve from Joe Brancato at Airtanks For Sale.

The setup works great! Now that I have my own Yong Heng compressor no more trips to the dive shop to top it off. Guy was charging me $20 for a top off!
