• We have two oxygen systems in the Squadron:1) the Aerox portable tanks:

2) and the Precise Flight built-in system in the turbo-206:

Aerox portable tank connector/valve and flow-meter
These are different from …

• As an individual, you do not need to buy either of the valve/connector/flow-meter connections for either system.
![Page 8: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• As an individual, you do not need to buy either of the valve/connector/flow-meter connections for either system.
• Those stay with the O2 tanks (for the Aerox system) or with the airplane (for the turbo-206 system).

• As an individual, you do not need to buy either of the valve/connector/flow-meter connections for either system.
• Those stay with the O2 tanks (for the Aerox system) or with the airplane (for the turbo-206 system).
• You only need your own cannula.

Cannula for PreciseFlight O2 system in Turbo-206
Note plastic adaptor (comes standard with the 206 cannula and must stay with it)

$44.43 ($35.54 + $8.89 s&h) athttp://aerox.com/product/conserving-cannula-cc-rev-a
$29.95 + s&h from Precise Flight
![Page 15: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Thus, for an individual purchase, your cost could be well over $75.00, if you purchased one each of the two types of cannulas.
![Page 16: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Wouldn’t It Be Better to Buy One Cannula That Fits Both Systems?
(There is a way.)
![Page 17: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Buy a cannula that has the bell-shaped connecting end
![Page 18: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Buy a plastic adaptor
![Page 19: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cut the bell-shaped connecting end off of the cannula tubing
![Page 20: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cut the bell-shaped connecting end off of the cannula tubing – but DON’T throw it away!
![Page 21: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Insert plastic adaptor into tubing. This cannula can then be used with the Turbo-206 O2 system.
![Page 22: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
To use the same cannula with the portable Aerox system, re-attach the bell-shaped connector-end onto the other end of the plastic adaptor.
![Page 23: Cannula Costs & How To Reduce Them (portable O 2 & Turbo-206 O 2 ) Fred Clark, CAPT Civil Air Patrol SWR-NM-030, Sqdn II January, 2013](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103111/55163687550346b2068b4ede/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Thus, a cannula plus a plastic adaptor would allow you to have one personal cannula that can be used to attach to either the Aerox portable tank or the Turbo-206 oxygen systems, interchangeably.
