Do you have a pic of this? I'm wondering what it's like compared to mine (pic in a previous post).

It's not a regulator at all in the normal sense. The 'regulation' is the mechanical orifice inside the two part quick connect fitting (pinlock type). That's where the pressure drops down from 2000 psi to something breathable. You don't attach or remove anything other than the airline. You don't use a regulator.

Well, I gave this a try on Monday. It worked well after a bit of a learning curve. I just need to get some sort of a filter in place that will handle the flow, and I am set.

That's the one I tried, but it seemed to be bleeding O2 out the seams, maybe too much pressure from the unit I am using. It was hard to tell, if it was that or a loose connection. It was a bit of a trial and error rush job...

FYI, the filter should be .45 microns or lower whatever type you use....

Try sticking it under water next time to see if/where it leaks..
