Tor Tec Cylinders

[Gordon Archer]

We have found that the Tor Tec range of cylinders we bought 6 years ago starting to fail on inspection at IDEST stations,the most recent is due to the length of thread available in the neck for the valve.

As this is purely a manufacturiing fault does anyone know how to contact TOR TEC.
I still have had no explanation from the test house, as to the reason the cylinder passed the previous two tests.
Have the regs chaged?

Cheap cylinders are dearer overall.

Nope - one of my mates TorTec's failed its first test - shop that tested it was also were he bought it so they charged him a test fee and gave him a brand new Faber

I've heard similar reports on TorTec from a variety of sources, so I guess overall, you get what you pay for. a buddy of mine has had his for about 4-5 years without a problem though.
