Question Are All Bottles Created Equal?

I just wanted to now if all bottles are created equal, generally speaking can you use parts (ex. bottle opener, gauge, ect...) on other bottles? Are all parts interchangable with other bottles? Any help is appreciated, Thank You.

For the most part, they're all equal. You can put a guage on any of them, as long as it has a 1/8" NPT port for it. The bottle openers that are just solenoids can be put on any bottle. However, I'm not sure on the ones that actually spin the vavle open. The actual handle/**** might not fit too well if you're changing brands. It's easy to swap handles though.

As far as flow goes, they are most definatley not all created equal.

Depends what you are asking are all "nitrous" bottles, then yes.. but can you use any gas cylinder no not at all they need to be pressure tested and oxygen cleaned for nitrous. Some comapnies use different valves etc but for the most part the cylinders are manufactured by 2 different major companies and are all the same

Most bottles are the same.Its the quality of the valve and the flow of the valve that seperate them.
