	Technical Bulletin 07012020
	Subject: High-Pressure Gauges sold between 2012 and 2018
	Where used: Sold as a stand-alone product, p/n GB01 Standard Fill Checker, p/n AC360 Deluxe Fill Checker, p/n AC365 Deluxe Cylinder Equalizer, p/n AC366
	How to Identify: The GB01 HP gauges in question have a black face card with an outer white scale in psi, and an inner blue scale in bar They are filled with a clear oil. They have ¼” NPT threads (Fig. 1).
	The Problem: In the rare event of an internal leak, the black over-pressure (OP) relief plug (Fig. 2), located on top, should vent, allowing excess pressure to escape. It does not in all cases. XS Scuba is finding that as these over-pressure plugs age; they are becoming harder. While originally supple and pliable, some that have been in the field for many years have become hard. In some cases, they found that the plug had become too hard to properly relieve excess pressure should there be an internal leak. This can result in the glass lens shattering outward.

	Technical Bulletin 06012020
	In the last few years, the dive media, as well as the Dive Alert Network (DAN), has shined a spotlight on a potentially hazardous situation where nylon regulator hose interiors can crystalize, resulting in the possibility of crystals dislodging and creating an obstruction in the regulator. Miflex, the largest producer of nylon braided hoses in the world, and XS Scuba, their North American distributor, want to provide details on this situation to put minds at ease.
