Omega Omega HP3 Valve, simply the best!

[rabbithole]

@rabbithole I appreciate your input here. I think that a valve should be something an airgunner purchases once, maybe twice in the life of a SCBA tank. To be clear here, Air Venturi Jubilee SCBA tank valves don't scream "high quality" to me. They feel pretty basic. I have multiple Jubilee valves and they are not slow flow valves. You have to get a feel for the valve and incrementally manually manipulate the knob that opens the valve to control the flow of air on a fill. But mine have worked ok over the past few years. The only thing that has given me an issue is the plastic seat withing the pressure relief vavle that bleeds the fill whip.

I have zero experience with the HP3 valve. Joe Broncato sells SCBA tank valves with dual gauges on them that I've read others tout as being a good SCBA valve. They come on his Great White tanks to my understanding. I'm not sure of the pricepoint. Maybe owners of those valves and others that are easy to manipulate or actually have a slow flow feature can chime in here so other members and readers are aware of alternative options in order to purchase and obtain exactly what they feel that they need. I think this would be a good metric to determine what is "simply the best" valve for SCBA tanks use for filling air guns. Respectfully speaking, I am of the opinion that the users should be the ones to assign the value of "the best" to a product, not the manufacturer, distributer, or retaile

WHOA!

I understand that you are upset, but we need to keep some decorum here.

Obviously I know nothing about this situation personally, but I am closing this thread right now. At least to give a chance for emotions to calm on this situation.
