Filling G's

ajc · November 28th, 2007, 03:50 PM

Hi Folks,

Anyone have any experience in filling RPV vales ( as you would find on He & O2 G cylinders ). I have plenty of the bullnose connectors but need something with the pin actuator to open the one way valve. In Australia we refer to them as type 10 and in memory of the empire they are BSP fittings.

Is there an adaptor or workaround to save me having to take the valves off the cylinders and replace them?

you can strip the valve down and forget to put the spring in and it will allow you to fill with the same whip you use to decant out of it

Thanks - we tried that but the brass cover for the rpv is so soft we can't remove it. Any suggestions?
