Tank valve pressure relief Question

[bubblerboy64]

I've got an Omega 75 tank purchased from AOA ( apexs )and it's fine accept for one issue. The button that you must push to bleed off the pressure after the fill is extremely difficult for me to push. Don't know if it's my old weak fingers or a problem with the valve or it it's just the nature of the equipment. 

I'd like to replace the valve or modify the valve if possible with something more user friendly if there is such a item. .

And while I'm asking questions if I'd get another tank valve are they just screwed into the carbon fiber tanks. What's involved with that.

Mod edit: moved to compressor section

Far as the button goes, yes it hard to push. I had one of them tanks and when the line had pressure is was hard to push. ( kinda)

You change out the valve for a diffraction style. The 60min scott valve work just fine. I switched mine to that when i sold it.

After that its just a matter of finding a fill setup for that valve

Yes, mine is hard to push also. Call AoA, I think they have a regular screw type vent that can be used to replace the push button assembly... You could buy a new valve to replace yours, but they are over $100.

You can e-mail Best Fittings UK, and ask. They've always had ANYTHING that I needed. And they are very helpful.

Maybe garden hose siliconed to cheap channel lock pliers' teeth?

I have always hated the valve on my Omega 75. Does anyone know if a Drager scba valve will work? Same threads?
