The cylinder is light in weight and supplied with a medical oxygen pin index cylinder valve. In line with the latest standards for medical oxygen colour identification, these cylinders will be supplied in white For other countries we need the cylinder valve outlet fitting that is required to be specified at the time of enquiry. Unfilled cylinders will be supplied with the cylinder valve separate from the cylinder. This allows inspection and assembly by the filling company. It also means that the cylinders when being transported are readily identifiable as non-hazardous cargo. Filled cylinder orders will be sent to a licensed filling company and dispatched from them to the customer.
