The thing is it's an old design. OLD. Don't even know if they make em anymore. We got these from the dismantled pile in the attic at the FD.

I have a very close friend who is into mini truck building, he installs a lot of airbags, he is helping me with mine, he says there is a local diesel shop that sells all of the fittings I'm gonna need, as far as the bottle goes not all scba tanks are Scott. Mine happens to be a msa there are several other manufactures of these, you would have to find a bottle and just check around, I know some of the new bottles we are getting and manufacture specific on their fitting, as in Scott will not work with msa and vise versa

Good deal, if they are old I would be careful how much you fill them if they have not been hydrotested, that is supposed to happen every 5 years. If you fill them up you run the risk of rupture, not Likely but is possible, 2216psi is a lot in that small bottle, lol

Yeah, these that I have were hydrotested but out of date for the FD.

I wouldn't run that PSI in a bottle that's not tested.
