Product Overview

About This Product

The Thunderbird S13 is a compact 13 cu ft aluminium cylinder with a 1.9 L water capacity and 207 bar working pressure. It sits between the smallest S06 and the longer S40, giving divers a straightforward middle step for pony or reserve-cylinder comparisons.

Its 111 mm diameter, 333 mm body height and 2.7 kg empty weight make the physical difference from the S06 easy to assess. Select No Valve for the cylinder body only, or D/K Valve when the valve should be supplied with the cylinder.

Thunderbird acquired Luxfer’s Graham, North Carolina aluminium-cylinder operation in 2021, carrying forward a manufacturing heritage familiar to many divers. All scuba cylinders ship unassembled, with an included D/K valve packed separately rather than fitted for transit.
