nels Posted November 16, 2019 Report Posted November 16, 2019 When mounting/securing an oxygen bottle, does it need to be standing upright or can it be on its side or even upside down. Worried about potential damage to the regulator if mounted wrong? Quote
DonMuncy Posted November 16, 2019 Report Posted November 16, 2019 It does not care. It is not compressed to the liquid stage. 2 Quote
nels Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Posted November 16, 2019 Thanks, Don. That’s exactly what I was concerned about. Quote
carusoam Posted November 16, 2019 Report Posted November 16, 2019 Propane tanks are typical for having a liquid phase in the tank... the gas turns liquid at a low pressure so the tank doesn’t need to be very strong... there is a lot of weight in those tanks... O2, all gas until super cold, or highly compressed... Don’t go upside down with it because some moisture may be at the bottom under some odd conditions ... small amounts of water can cause problems with freezing... in the regulator... PP thoughts only, not a gas tech... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
M20F-1968 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Posted November 16, 2019 If you are using the 115 cubic foot O2 bottle from the Ovation as a basis for an inboard system, I have a pair of the Scott factory brackets that I am not using. (I downgraded to a 50 cubic foot bottle to save weight). Let me know if you need them. John Breda Quote
nels Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Posted November 18, 2019 John.. I’m not sure on my bottle size. I bought it off eBay a year or so ago. Unless it’s noted on the bottle the best I can do is get the dimensions on diameter and height. I’m not at home but should be back by Tuesday, I can check the bottle at that time. Quote
