Tips
-
rent D size oxygen cylinders from BOC or Linde for about £2 per month. 
Each D size will give 30mins oxygen at 10 lpm.  Contact BOC on 0800
111333 or Linde on 01698 842221.
-
the other commonly used oxygen cylinder type uses a bull nose connection. 
Bull nose cylinders cannot be used with pin index regulators and visa versa.
