I'm building up an O2 system and I'm trying to decide what valve style to go with before ordering. So, for those of you that have an Oxygen setup in your RV, which valve style did you go with on the cylinder and why?
A bit of research looks to show that:
CGA-540
Thanks!
A bit of research looks to show that:
CGA-540
- De facto standard for industrial/commercial Oxygen cylinders.
- All brass connections; no special washers to maintain.
- A wrench is needed to attach/remove the regulator.
- Possibly easier to find parts/accesories/service.
- Looks to be the de facto standard for home health Oxygen cylinders.
- Uses special washers/gaskets (teflon/viton w/ brass inserts).
- Available with a "toggle" or "Z" valve to turn the preassure on/off w/out tools.
- No tools needed to attach/remove a regulator.
- May need "Rx" (whether required or not) depending who you are dealing with for service/refills/purchase.
Thanks!
