How do I get my cylinder and valve to be Nitrox Ready?
Most cylinders and valves that have been in use have some level of hydrocarbon contamination. To make a cylinder and valve suitable for nitrox service, they must be disassembled and cleaned of hydrocarbon contamination and reassembled with oxygen-compatible O-rings and lubricant. This process requires training, special materials and is time-consuming. For a very reasonable fee, Fill Express can prepare your cylinder and valve for nitrox service. New cylinders and valves purchased from Fill Express are always prepared by the factory for nitrox service using facilities not available to local dive shops, these new cylinders and valves will never be any cleaner than the day they are put into service.
