I have purchased a HYDROSTIK PRO Metal Hydride Cartridge, should I have received

a (gas pressure) regulator of any kind with it?

No, regulators are not included as standard you will need to order those as well.

Items that are supplied are:

(1) A HYDROSTIK PRO metal hydride cartridge

(2) A Horizon-designed adaptor that connects the SWAGELOK connector to the

Do HYDROSTIK PRO Metal Hydride Cartridges come delivered to you sealed? How

are they sealed?

There is a gas tight valve in the cartridge head that doesn’t allow for gas to release.

This will not be an issue though as the canisters will not contain any gases during

delivery.

I would like to exchange my cartridge for a different size, can we do this at any

Horizon related outlet?

No, for now we only distribute a single size metal hydride cartridge.

Can I take Metal Hydride Cartridge HYDROSTIK PRO abroad?

No more than two spare fuel cell cartridges may be carried by a passenger in carry-on

baggage, in checked baggage, or on the person.
