The Canadian source.

I have decided to start acquiring what is necessary for a Scba setup to ctb with nitrogen gas at a future date.

The Canadian source has in the past sold full Scba masks with demand valves but sadly for me they are out of stock. I know this is the expensive option however I'm fortunate that this is not an issue. Do these ever get restocked or am I going to have to search a little deeper ?

cheers!

@InjuredBrainGamer contacted K due to this issue, he said SCBA kits have been popular and inventory will be restocked mid-Feb.

Also, there are other ways of implementing SCBA:

1. If an air-to-nitrogen adapter exists for the standard N₂ connection of your region, use an SCBA connected to a N₂ cylinder with the adapter. An example of this setup was implemented by DOGMA67 (my setup is similar to this). The air-to-nitrogen implementation was invented by the Legendary pioneers of the SCUBA method Scrooge and SlovakGuy (SCBA is the next step in the evolution).

2. If such adapter doesn't exist for the standard of your region, connect the demand valve to a N₂ pressure regulator using a quick coupler. You will need to search for the adequate quick coupler for your regulator. The pressure output on the regulator must be set to the recommended by the manufacturer of the demand valve (can be seen in the tech specs) which usually is 7.25~7.50 bar. The downside of this implementation is that the hose of the demand valve can be a little too short. An example of this setup was implemented by Joarga (although he connected the demand valve in a different way instead of with a quick coupler).

Hi GasMonkey, thank you.

I've observed you are very knowledgeable on this subject. Do you mind if I PM you with some questions ?

Cheers!
