Faber FX23 (3L) Cylinder, Black
- High-pressure (3442 psi) 3 liter / 23 cubic foot steel cylinder
- Hot-zinc spray galvanizing that is further protected with epoxy paint
- DGX Premium Valve in choice of design and configuration
- Cylinder and valve are Nitrox Ready
The Faber FX-Series SCUBA Cylinders are manufactured using deep-drawn chrome molybdenum steel resulting in a light weight cylinder with excellent buoyancy characteristics. Manufactured in Italy by Faber, this 3442 PSI service pressure cylinder is imported for the North American market in an environmentally friendly hot-zinc spray coating that is protected with epoxy paint. The inside of Faber cylinders also feature a unique phosphatized hardening treatment to create a corrosion resistant internal surface. With a diameter of {3.94 in | 10.01 cm} and a height of {19.50 in | 49.53 cm} this is a compact steel cylinder with a wide variety of uses.
Dive Gear Express ships your Nitrox Ready cylinder with the valve installed (domestic ground US only). Unless you select no valve, the valve included in our price is a very high quality DGX Premium Pro Valve in your choice of design, plus a DIN/K insert to make the valve suitable for use with both DIN or Yoke regulator fittings. The cylinders ordered with valves have a current month Nitrox Ready decal.
Our "DGX Complete" Setup Includes:
- Nitrox Ready Faber FX Hot Spray Galvanized Steel Cylinder
- DGX Premium Pro Valve in choice of design and configuration
- DIN/K Insert for use with Yoke regulator fittings
- Spare O-ring for valve face
- Valve Protector Cap
- Current Nitrox Ready Decal †
† Our shop evidence of inspection 3" X 6" dated decal (aka "VIP sticker") states "this cylinder and valve are suitable for service with compressed gases containing greater than 23.5% oxygen." That means the cylinder and valve, prior to initial use, are oxygen clean and oxygen compatible. If you plan to use this cylinder with gases containing more than 40% oxygen then the upgrade to our DGX Premium Oxygen Valve is suggested. If you select the No Valve / No VIP option, then the VIP decal and dust cap is NOT included.

How to Select a SCUBA TankOur factual but easy-to-read article helps you make this big decision by giving you information on:
For details read How to Select a SCUBA Tank. |
SCUBA Tanks must be hydrostatically tested every five years (60 months). We always ship Faber cylinders with a current hydro test date. Due to manufacturing and import cycles, the popular sizes of Faber cylinders typically have a factory hydro date less than 12 months old. However less popular sizes of Faber cylinders may have a factory hydro date up to 24 months old as these are manufactured and imported less frequently.
Our cylinders and valves are Imperial 3/4 NPS neck threads, NOT Metric M25 neck threads, and the valves have overpressure relief devices. The cylinders have US DOT and Canadian CTC markings suitable for use only in North America. Our cylinders and valves are NOT CE approved and NOT suitable for use in the European Union. Cylinders are NOT marked appropriately for use in Australia and New Zealand.
