| Type of regulator
Pierre,
If you proceed with putting an OC reg on the Inspiration and assuming that your unit has Apeks for first stages, I would suggest that you use an Apeks TX-40 or higher. The T-series are somewhat smaller then the previous Apeks 2nd stages.
I would also suggest that you put a gas flow stopper on the reg. I once jumped in cold water and the diluent regulator (Apeks T40) of my unit went on free-flowing: 200 - 70 bar in no time. No fun, and also the reason why I personally would never put an O2 reg on the inspiration. The risk that you loose your inboard O2 may well be greater then the risk that you need to get of the loop. But as someone said before, each his own choice.
