<div>The reason most tec divers do not want the button gauges is because they are prone to failing in caves, wrecks, and other restrictions from getting snagged or banged on. You will notice all tec divers have a 6" hose connecting to a SPG on all stage tanks for this very reason. On a button gauge, they are mounted directly on the 1st stage. </div>

<DIV>hi All</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have been talking with a couple of tech diver friends who say they don't use small button gauges as they are prone to bursting. Im not sure how accurate this info is, but I have 2 of these gauges in my boat. I put them on to save space.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Has anyone had any experience with them failing?</DIV>
