I am in the market for a new valve assembly for my SCBA tank.
Photo below of my old valve, with push button release, and worn out gauge with bent needle tip. If you look close, the tip of needle is actually bent from releasing pressure too fast. Its easy to do, due to the push button style release knob. Its difficult to gently press the push button and release pressure, without releasing pressure too fast! I DONT LIKE THE PUSH BUTTON RELEASE.
I prefer that my next valve assembly include:
1. LARGE GAUGE ....4" would be ideal for my old eyes.
2. A knob that screws to release pressure...No more push button that releases pressure much too fast, and bends the gauge needle.
I see the $200 Saber Tactical Valve Assembly, and Im leaning in that direction, and then probably upgrading to a larger 4" gauge due to my eyesight.
Is there another valve assembly that anyone would recommend, over the Saber Tactical, that offers a larger gauge?
Is there anything better, that would include a larger gauge, and maybe be priced less than $200 ?
