10 lb nitrous bottle bad valve ..
« on: April 11, 2016, 08:52:11 PM »
I been looking for a extra bottle and found this one for 50 bucks with a stripped valve (how does that happen?lol)
Is it worth it to buy and replace valve?

They will want to clean it also and yes it is close to 50 bucks.  Just a pain in the butt to do.

If nos bottles are like the ones I use for work, there should be a date stamped on the bottle letting you know when it will need a hydrostatic test. As Steve said should be 3-5 years depending on the bottle type

Should be the same! I know it's also the same for scuba tanks

But,  Lee, you fill your own bottles. So it shouldn't be a big issue for you.

It's only places that fill that check

Lol. Atleast most of them are. I have been looking for a second bottle. But I want one with a gauge that will read with the bottle off.
