Dive Rite Heavy-Duty Double Tank Bands are available in a 2.5-inch width for 7.25-inch tanks and a 3- inch width for 8-inch tanks. All Dive Rite bands are tungsten inert gas (TIG) welded, passivated, and have deburred edges that minimizes scratching tanks during assembly. Dive Rite heavy-duty bands are constructed of 18-gauge, 304 stainless steel, with a #3 polished finish and 11-gauge, 304 stainless steel structural plates. Every Dive Rite ultra high quality band is precision sheared and punched and goes through a stringent quality control test during each step of the manufacturing process.
Effective March 2007, Dive Rite's bands kits now include the appropriate size stainless steel all-thread bolt kit. Dive Rite bolts, nuts and washers are also all made of 304 stainless steel, a high grade, low carbon metal that strongly resists corrosion, even in saltwater.
