Hi Pam
Please allow me to clarify the matter.
Depending on customer requirements Schleicher installs bottles holders
to suit either European or US made oxygen
bottles. European oxy bottles are 100 mm whereby US bottles are
usually 108 mm in diameter.
If your fittings are for European bottles you will not be able to fit
the larger diameter US bottles.
If you let me know which size bottle you require I will ask Schleicher
to submit a quote directly to you. On request the
bottle can soon be shipped to Melbourne in a container with two
gliders for Victorian customers. This can reduce the
shipping costs for you. Please note that the ex-works delivery date of
these gliders is the second half of August.
Please let me have your thoughts on the matter.
Kind regards
Bernard

Thanks Tom, that’s helpful. Who supplies the German bottles?
We are in Europe for a month, can we carry one on a flight? I expect
it would have to be empty if we did?

Hi Pam,
Most US bottles will not fit in Schleicher holder. Either a smaller
bottle with packing or get a German steel bottle [which will fit, and
gives max capacity]
and use German DIN44 fittings. An alternative, which both our gliders
have is the German bottle with a DIN44 to American std CGA[64?]
adapter
to use the std US regulator from MH. The adapters are on the MH
website, you can then use this adapter for filling. The extra money
for the reg with gauge is worth it as the MH bottles have gauge on
bottle side of tap but German bottle does not. The US is the aviation
standard here.
With a refilling kit you can hire a big bottle and refill your own
bottles. Talk to Maddog as`well.
Regards,
Tom

I want to put an oxygen cylinder in my ASH31mi with a Mountain High
pulse delivery system.
What cylinders are most suitable for glider use?
What fittings give easiest access to re-filling services in
Australia?
What sort of good or bad experiences are there in getting Oxygen
cylinders refilled commercially?
Pam
