Faber 100 cu ft High Pressure Steel Tank (FX100)
By Faber Cylinders | 3442 PSI (237 Bar) Working Pressure | Ideal Buoyancy Characteristics | Oxygen Cleaned & TC Approved
Upgrade your air capacity and streamline your ballast with the Faber 100 cu ft High Pressure Steel Tank (FX100). The FX100 is widely regarded as the "sweet spot" cylinder for Pacific Northwest temperate and cold-water divers, delivering 25% more gas than a standard aluminum 80 in a compact, highly balanced profile.
Manufactured in Italy from premium high-strength chromium-molybdenum steel, Faber cylinders feature superior negative buoyancy properties. Unlike aluminum tanks that become positively buoyant as gas is consumed, the Faber HP100 remains negative throughout the entire dive. This allows cold-water drysuit and 7mm wetsuit divers to remove unnecessary weight from their weight belts, resulting in better underwater trim and less physical fatigue.
Superior Steel Buoyancy & Triple-Layer Corrosion Defense
With an empty buoyancy rating of -0.59 lbs in saltwater, the Faber HP100 never floats up at your safety stop. Every cylinder features Faber’s proprietary phosphatized internal coating to resist internal moisture, paired with a hot-dip galvanized base and durable white paint finish for exterior salt-water protection.
