bottle jammed?

[arg1271]

I'd make sure the bottle was empty and then try to undo it

he said there was 3000psi in the bottle when the reg unscrewed itself from the bottle, when you screw aluminium into aluminum a bit quick it tends to stick and in worse cases weld itself together

Kitch, looks like a PMI reg: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c167/simonster2005/17072008163.jpg and if I recall correctly they have a chrome plated brass bonnet! There are a few reasons why it may have jammed. I would be tempted to replace both.


Oh, and can you make your mind up on which side of the Atlantic you sit when referring to metal produced from bauxite

he said he emptied it at the end of the first line, reg would never come off a bottle with 3000psi left in it

Aye, I know what you mean fella, good vice with soft jaws on it, may be a bit of grit on the inner face of the oops that the reg has gripped onto, either way if you can't shift it in a vice with an adequate amount of force, it will prolly be fubar'd. End of the day if you dont feel confident doing it yourself, or dont know if those bits are any longer servicable let the professionals have a look for you.

thought your red had unscrewed itself from each other as opposed to the bottle

il have a look into bz in saturday, il just take everything down and see what they say. i know it better to be weary and a bit of a wuss when theres that much pressure involved.

at the min the oops is detached from the gat, and the bit that you unscrew to release/seal the air at the opposite end of the oops to the bottle has been taken out fully now.

bled the air by taking off the macroline etc to make sure everything was safe before i started taking things apart.

thanks for the replies but im really lost with this at the min so il let some one who knows what there doing have a look see

mate did you read my thread i posted up??
there will be two grub screws holding the collar to the reg, just try tightening those as tight as possible then try undoing the tank from the asa.
thats what i had to do and it worked.
