KNOW and UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMMERCIAL GRADE CLICK-STYLE OXYGEN REGULATORS DESIGNED FOR USE IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTS and ALUMINUM ADJUSTABLE CLICK-STYLE ADJUSTABLE REGULATORS
COMMERCIAL GRADE OXYGEN REGULATOR DESIGNED FOR USE IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTS
The Oxygen Edge™ regulator is the only “Commercial Grade” brass adjustable click-style high pressure oxygen regulator with a 540 CGA hand wheel cylinder connection made and sold in America. Our oxygen regulators are specifically designed, engineered and manufactured for use in salty marine fishing environments reducing the destructive effects of Galvanic Corrosion. The Oxygen Edge™ oxygen-injection system is sold to sport fishermen and commercial fishermen worldwide. Adjust the dose of oxygen for stocking density (2 lbs. – 200 lbs.) Fishermen adjust the correct dose of oxygen for the stocking density.
The OE regulator body and internal components are made of solid brass and solid nickel plated (nickel plating tarnishes like a 1940 Buffalo nickel). It is not shiny. Pure nickel plating does not have a shiny mirror finish like chrome nickel alloy plating. Pure brass and pure nickel coating are resistant to Galvanic Corrosion when exposed to marine salty environments (salty water and air). There are no internal sacrificial zinc components inside OE regulators unlike most aluminum body click style oxygen regulators commonly Made in China.
The Oxygen Edge™ precision dose adjustable commercial high pressure oxygen regulator is Made in America to proprietary engineering specifications. OE regulators are engineered and built for use in marine salty environments.
ALUMINUM BODY, ADJUSTABKE DOSE, CLICK-STYLE OXYGEN REGULATORS
Most of these aluminum oxygen regulators are made in China; most contain internal zinc components because zinc is very cheap. Zinc is a “sacrificial metal.” China has minimum to no manufacturing quality control standards with these regulators. When zinc or metal containing numerous metal alloys comes in contact with salt, Galvanic Corrosion and eventual regulator malfunction and failure is predictable.

CAUTION
DECEPTIVE: Aluminum body click-style oxygen regulators are often intentionally advertised and sold as “Commercial Grade” fishing oxygen regulators; “Engineered for use in Marine Environments.”… buyer beware of Galvanic Corrosion.
Aluminum body adjustable click-style oxygen regulators come in a rainbow of different colors; blue, green, gold, silver, grey, red, yellow, pink, and brushed aluminum. Some have a shiny chromium alloy plating, like a chrome car bumper. Most are manufactured in China and Mexico and exported to America where they are brand and sold. Manufacturing quality control is often lax or totally missing. The dose of oxygen dialed in on the regulator may vary considerably compared to the actual dose of oxygen delivered. RE: poor manufacturing quality control.
Know and understand the pros and cons of aluminum click-style oxygen regulators and eliminate false expections and disappointments.

These rebranded medical oxygen regulators are sold as a non medical commercial oxygen regulator used to dispense pure oxygen into an ozone generator in a clean climate controlled environment. Calibrated doses in fractions of liters per minute: 1/31, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2… 4.0 LPM flow rates.
