The inert gas tanks have valves with TWO seats in them - one to shut off the tank when closed, and one to seal off the stem when FULLY open and seated at the top of the valve. It's different on FUEL cylinders (Acetylene, propane, etc.) where you only want to open the valves slightly so they can be turned off quickly if something bad happens...
I didn't know that Willie - thanks for the tip.
