Liter gauge indicates only 15 lpm but (as far as I know) you can "overwind" it up to 60 lpm.

Not true, from my experience.  Maybe there are some out there that do, but they are rare, if at all.

Here is a place to buy one.  Tell them you need one with a CGA-540 connector, that goes to 60LPM.  They will know what you need.

The designation "CGA-540" is the one that fits onto the tank you gave a picture of.

They are about $175.00 USD, I think.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Good luck, and I bet you will LOVE it!

Chuck

Different ways to get high flow O2:

- The CGA-540 style connector on an M tank is identical to the threads on a welding tank.

A welding regulator can supply waaaaaay more than any person can breathe, but it can also be opened very slowly to provide any flow rate you want.

- Depends upon your budget, but the ultimate is a demand valve type medical gas regulator.

- If you have two tanks, you can put a cheap ($50) 0-25 lpm on each, then put a "T" in the tubing to get 50 lpm if you need it (That's a lot)

I just bought my non re breather and I'm anxious to get this regulator in hopes I can abort these hour long torture clusters. still having 3 a night and an hour a sleep,
Ok so found the regulator I need as far as companies go any one have experience with START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE or START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE is one better than the other as far as regulators? Flowtec puts out 60lmp, the one from southeast put out 70,  both run a180$ but  the quality is what I'm interested in, or if there is another manufacturer I haven't listed please let me know. Thank you all for the help!

Sounds right. My invoice shows RR510-300T1. I also got the "DISS" fitting for a demand valve. I don't have the Demand valve yet, but the reg works great without it too. This is a high quality unit.

In case you're not aware the reg's come in right or left side mounting. Not a big deal but I had to change sides on my tank, just spun it around.

I love my regulator, my plan is to order an E-tank one too, but the 25lpm on it now works great too.

Best of Luck, Don

I have not had any dealing with the Southeast Oxygen people.  Several people (that I know of) have the FloTec units and are VERY happy with them!  I would go the FloTec unit.

As Don pointed out (and I forgot to) order the unit, CGA540, 60 LPM, and with both the nipple AND the DISS fitting on it. 

The reason for this is that your O2PTIMASKTM connects to the nipple connection.  In the future, if you decide to switch to the demand valve system, you will already have the regulator that it would connect to, as the demand valve needs the DISS fitting for it.

Th FloTec only goes to 60 LPM and the other goes to 70 LPM.  You do NOT need that extra 10 LPM.  60 LPM is more than you will be able to handle for any length of time.  I am sure the FloTec will unit will make you VERY happy!

Don,

You can use your CGA-540 regulator on a small tanks with a simple adapter:
