Inspiration Question.

[turbanator]

Is there and OPV mechanism on the O2 side of an Inspiration?
I had a goos look at one this weekend and could not see one.

Mine has a standard type relief valve fitted to the first stage, this was fitted at the factory and supplied with the unit as I bought it - I did not specify this as an option....

There's also one on the Diluent side, in case (or perhaps, for when) I remove the Auto-Air.

If you mean over pressure valve, then yes there is it's on the first stage. Mine came with one on each first stage. If your on about something else, sorry not smart enough to know.

*sulk* I only got one on the Oxygen side.
The manual says I should fit one to the Dil if I removed the AutoAir which is a downstream valve so works as one.

Thanks guys, Brass Monkey, you interpreted correctly , I used "OPV mechanism" as opposed to valve as I could not see an OPV like I have on my argon inflate. I sussed that the auto-air would take care of things on the dil side, but could not see any way that this would happen on the O2 side.

As Padowan said Paul, they now come with them on both first stages. I didn't ask for this either, I guess AP know that a lot of people ditch the Auto air. Mind you I did buy a standard type inflator with the unit (AP2000 or something like that). So far though the Auto air is working fine, if it's not broken don't fix it, so for now it stays.
