Tecline SPG 52 mm O2 Nickel: Precision and Safety for Oxygen
The Tecline O2 SPG is the variant dedicated to decompression mixtures of the reliable 52 mm series. Built with oxygen-compatible materials and featuring a sober, ultra-resistant nickel aesthetic, this pressure gauge is the standard for those seeking safety and cleanliness in technical configurations.
Main Features:
- Oxygen Compatible (O2 Service): Unlike standard pressure gauges, this model is assembled and cleaned for use with pure oxygen or enriched mixtures (Nitrox). The internal components and lubricants used are chosen to prevent dangerous reactions with high-pressure oxygen.
- Oxygen-Specific Dial: * Features an "O2" symbol or clear coding on the back to avoid confusion between cylinders (crucial to not mistake a stage/deco cylinder for the bottom gas).
- Highly legible white background with a scale up to 300 bar and a highlighted red reserve area.
- Brushed Nickel Finish: The brass case with nickel plating offers superior protection against abrasion and corrosion. The matte finish reduces reflections, making it easier to read the pressure under powerful torchlight.
- Tempered Safety Glass: The tempered glass lens does not scratch or fog up, ensuring absolute transparency and superior structural resistance compared to plastic or polycarbonate lenses.
- Standard Dimensions (52 mm): The 2-inch diameter is perfect for side mounting on stage or deco cylinders, being compact yet extremely readable.
Ideal Applications:
- Stage and Decompression Cylinders: Often paired with a short HP hose (15 cm) to stay close to the cylinder and minimize snagging.
- Clean O2 Configurations: For divers who independently maintain and clean their regulators dedicated to decompression gases.
- Extreme Environments: The robustness of nickel and tempered glass makes it ideal for cave or wreck diving, where equipment is subject to frequent impacts.
Important Safety Note: As an oxygen device, it must be used exclusively with oxygen-clean swivels and hoses with Viton O-rings. Any contamination with incompatible oils or greases can compromise the safety of the instrument.
