An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Can you believe that for a ~€4 hose barb (12mm to 3/8") they charge €50 delivery fee inside the EU?

Well, since there is 28.31 liters for each cubic foot, that would be 2264 liters left at 80 cu ft, but original PSI could be 2200, and you have 1700, so you have 77% of tank left, which would leave you with 1743 liters left, way more than enough to CTB--At 25 lpm, that's roughly 70 minutes, and ten minutes is usually enough
I have a 125 cu ft tank, 3540 liters, and even after three years, the PSI is still at 1600, so I have about 103 minutes left in the tank at 25 lpm, enough to CTB ten times over
Hello everyone!
English is not my native language, I use a translator, so I apologize in advance for inaccurate wording or terms. I will be glad if I am corrected if necessary.
I have been reading various topics here for quite a long time, I think I have figured it out enough to ask the right questions, or even help someone.
I chose the N2 method (SCBA or SCUBA) for myself. I live in Eastern Europe. I started by looking for a cylinder and N2 <-> AIR adapters. In my country, there are at least 3 suppliers of cylinder gas, I wrote a request to each of them. So far, I have received complete information only from one, but nuances have already appeared. This gas supplier seems to be a German company, and I think they can be trusted. They claim that all their gas is at least 99.995% pure. At the same time, there are also options of 99.999% and 99.9999%. But cylinders come with different types of connections: DIN 477-9 or DIN 477-10, depending on the cylinder volume and gas type. And it is necessary to properly choose the adapter N2 <-> AIR, according to the connection on the cylinder, to connect SCBA or SCUBA equipment. It will be either DIN 477-9 G 3/4 <-> G 5/8, or DIN 477-10 W24.32x1/14 <-> G 5/8. At the moment, both adapters are available for ordering online in EU, and I ordered both. By the way, in the description of the DIN 477-9 G 3/4 adapter it is written that it is for oxygen, probably this connection is "originally" used for O2. DIN 477-9 G 3/4 – 5 l (99.995%), 10 l (99.995%) cylinders. DIN 477-10 W24.32x1/14 - 8 l (99.995%), 10 l (99.999% and 99.9999%) cylinders.
I hope this will be useful to someone. If so, I will describe the further stages of the installation later.

What's the point of ordering a hose barb? It's a basic part that's used in all countries. You can buy it at your local hardware store for the same 4e or so. It's not a gas-specific part, these hose barb are used everywhere for water. And you need a gasket, of course.
And one more "life hack." If you need to connect two hoses (for example, extend the hose to the EEBD), you don't have to measure anything at all. Cut a 3 cm piece (1 minimum) from each hose and take it with you to the hardware store. Show them to the seller, and he will give you the right hose barb and hose clamps to connect one to the other.

You'd be surprised to find out the little amount of welding equipment they've in Ireland. I've to buy most of the equipment from the UK or other countries in the EU.
I've been searching and going through threads trying to find it. It was just an updated thread about inert gas and methods. She even stated she made the thread since this one got so big. I wish I would have saved it

That's the point of my message. You don't need a special welding shop to buy a hose barb like the one in the picture you posted, or any other hoses and fittings that are installed after the pressure regulator. All of this is available at a regular hardware store that sells various water pipes and fittings. I don't know what the correct English word is: hardware store, building store, or something else. A store that sells everything for building and repairing a house (paint, tools, garden hoses, etc.).

Argon flow meter arrived. It comes with a hose barb already. The diameter I measured it (inner portion of the outlet) to be 0.50cm. Which is not 3/8". Did I measure correctly? I measured the bottom of the barb where the exhaust is (outlet). What is a fraction for inches that results in 0.50cm? I'm afraid I'll have to find a double sided barb with different sizes for each side as I'm pretty sure the eebd hose will be something different (. maybe 3/8"?).
LE: 3/16" seems to match. It converts to 0.47625cm. according to a table this means the outer diameter is 5/16" which translates as slightly less than 3/8" when converted to cm. definitely the eebd hose inner diameter will be bigger than this - should I be worried that I might get a leak if I use a 3/8" inner diameter hose with hose clamps on the flow meter hose barb? Assuming the eebd hose is 3/8"
LLE: with a hose of 5/16" to match flow meter barb, and, with a 8mm double sided barb, the eebd hose (assuming 3/8" inner diameter) will be ~1.5mm larger than the double sided hose barb side facing the eebd. If I use a hose clamp, should I be worried about leaks?
Is the Green EEBD hood supposed to have spring tensioned exhale valve? At least onces I have it is just rubber flap. Putting gas in the hood simply pushes the exhale valve open emptying the hood of gas. I ordered SCBA mask to be sure, but still have the EEBD masks too.
