an x-tra regulator

[MAGnificents]

hay fella A.O's,

One question I'm not too clear of,
One of my three mags I own:

I have a classic valve with level 10 and I'm running a 3000 47 tank (i know it's small)
can I add an extra regulator, if I do what are the advantages and disadvantages????????????

Yeah, you can.. but its pointless because it already has a regulator built into the valve.

anyone else

thanx for your inpurt spitfire, does anyone else have any other input on my question

You won't gain ANY advantage. In fact it may limit performance.

Here's why-

You want about 200psi difference from reg to reg to allow for recharge.

Tank puts out 800-850. Mag regulator needs a MINIMUM of 600-650. You put another reg in there you can starve the valve.

anyone else

thanks guys for the info,

would anyone else like to add anything,

basically if my tank is putting out 800, then an extra reg would put out 600 leaving the mag's reg with only 400 which requires 600. got it!!!

so far i see no advanatages
