Found this 1800 psi oxygen bottle in the corner of the hangar. If it’s worth something to someone, I’ll pay to have it hydro tested prior to final sale. Not sure what it’s worth, so make an offer. Fly safe! Jim

What size is it? or dimensions? Do you know the brand?

Robert, I’ll have to go measure it next time I’m at the hangar. Unfortunately, that won’t be until the 17th. I’ll post dimension as soon as I get them. Jim

Bottle measures 23-1/2” tall sans valve, 7” diameter, 22” circumstance.

Attached is another picture. Could this be Beech part number?

If this will work for someone, let’s make a deal.

Fly safe,

Jim

If the tank was produced in 1966 as it appears in the photo it may be long expired. If so it is good for a welders' oxygen tank but not certified aircraft use. I believe they are good for 24 years in aviation use and then become a boat anchor.
I had to replace mine by order of the IA whom I found was correct, in fact I have 2 of these tanks in my hanger. There may be exceptions here but I do not believe so. Best of luck.

Thanks. Didn’t know about the 24-year life limit. Would make sense why it was laying around the hangar.

That ICC-3AA-1800 cylinder does not have a life limit, but it must be hydroed per schedule.

Bumping this to the top... still available...

Just wanting to get it out of the hangar...I’ll sell for actual expenses: which was $35 for the hydro inspection that it passed, plus actual shipping costs.

Fly safe!
