With the help of the Scubapro nuts at SB I put together this brief on the differences in poppet assemblies found in the 109 2nd stage. Hopefully this will help you when servicing your regulator.

It's about as unprofessional a method as you can get but I blow into second stages until they stop allowing air to pass then a little more as a starting point. It gets me in the ballpark fairly quickly with a minimal amount of on and off. Also remember, there is no need to tighten the hose more than finger tight when doing testing.EHowe wrote:Very helpfull. I have regulator saavy, it's a great resource. I was hoping to thre was a trick to adjusting orfice while not pressureized, but I think that is the only way to get it right. Looks like I may have to take advantage of tool rental sometime soon.
I remember reading about this technique on SB from some of the usual suspects, and its what I ended up doing as well for my 109sHerman wrote:It's about as unprofessional a method as you can get but I blow into second stages until they stop allowing air to pass then a little more as a starting point.

Oh, dang it! Nice mask and I like the flat color. Well, he does a lot more for me than air, he is usually able to get me the occasional rebuild kit etc. and other favors.Bryan wrote:If your LDS supports you then you should support them. Can't buy air over the net....
BUT, if MJ wants a frameless mask please look me up

This tool is so cool now that I have mine from vdh. Repeating myself, what was a PITA is now simple(er).Nemrod wrote:Oh, dang it! Nice mask and I like the flat color.

I am sold on the inline tool though, it makes a normally simple operation completely simple-er. Put me down for one if you get them in please.
