Mistral
The classic
regulator, as used by Jacques Y Cousteau and his team on the Calypso
In my opinion the
Mistral is one of the most outstanding engineering designs of all time. It is so simple
that anyone with a basic toolkit comprising ; slotted screwdriver, circlip remover, an
allen key and two spanners can entitrely diassemble and rebuild the regulator in an hour.

Single stage.
Developed from the CG45 which was the first commercially produced demand valve. The example shown
has the original hoses and still operated perfectly when used in summer 2001. The A clamp
has been changed for a modern design to suit current pillar valve dimensions. |
