removing a reg from a bottle

[The Don]

ok thanks all, its a little clearer now. not sure im a big fan of using a naked flame though, ive got about 4 tanks i want to get the regs off, will get a strap wrench and see how it goes, in not sure if any of them are locktighted on but the does seem to be a red residue around the neck of my AA reg.

p.s. 3 presets and an adjustable

p.p.s are all the threads bottles/regs universal?

If you find that the reg is quite stifff and wont come off wat i did was lightly i mean LIGHTLY tap the fill valve with a hammer. then u can unscrew it. Sum ppl are probly gna say dont use a hammer but it workd for me and the reg was fine. infact it was the reg i sold you.

cheers

Air bottles are NOT meant to be locktited onto the reg, especially presets.

People have died because of that...

Tell PMI too, they send out ALL their complete pre-set systems, loctited.

And no, I don't believe anyone's died from it (could be wrong though)
