I thought Theoben bottles were Schrader valved at some stage.
The above is correct. Theoben used schrader high pressure valves. New valves can be obtained from Best fittings.

Phoenix by Parker hale and then Pax? Maybe 8" long x 1.5" diameter?

Well I've never heard of that & certainly no one on the Rapid forums has mentioned it although I know the gas rams did use a Schrader valve.
The Theoben brass "pip" doesn't open it either.
Phil, it's a std Luxfer 280cc Aluminium bottle.
All the first Rapid bottles were 280cc with a schrader valve, when the 400cc came out they had the ball bearing valve.
the schrader valve will not work on the later type push pin disc in the regs as the pin enters the hole of the push pin and fails to open.

had one on a early rapid
Thanks all, learn something new every day.
My R7 Mk1 has those valves.

IF THE MUD REACHES YOUR KNEES GET OUT OF THE FIELD QUICK.

I still use one on my rapid the valves last for years without leaking and easy to change I've filed the center hole in in the reg push pin as it fills through the side holes
