Hello,
The nemrod SNARK III was produced during a long period, since end 50's until 1999. Depending production year and country, during this live the SNARK III received differents modification, cosmetics, HP port, LP port. Inside Nemrod provide also modification, the venturi nozzle were modified, given to different versions, various performances. At this time I find 3 different venturi nozzle configurations.
3 principal versions, SNARK III, SNARK III SUPER , AND SNARK III SILVER, with European and US particularity.
Here few photos to show just the nozzle.

Thanks spirou very interesting! Do you have any info on the late model with the LP port? I believe there were two versions, one slightly deeper than the early version? |

The Silvers got a first stage nozzle change later in their run. All models of the earlier regs have a removeable nozzle that was very much like an AquaMaster nozzle. The later Silver versions have the nozzle cast into the bottom box.

I'm not sure about any changes in the LP adaptors, since I have had only limited experience with OEM parts. The one I did see in the flesh had a through hole that was large enough for the second stage spring to pass through. The spring was held in place by the LP hose. The adapters I make have the same shape as the slotted plugs on their backside and have a small through hole so the plug retains the spring. I vaguely remember (red lights flashing/klaxon wailing!) that someone had an OEM adaptor that had a small through hole and held the spring in place. I got some of the following from Adair's CG-45 website. Thanks to Adair for this incredible resource! The first Snark DH regs in Europe were designated V-2s and had a straight nozzle and a different label in blue and black. I'm not sure what connection was used with the straight nozzle. Doesn't really look like DIN, but an awful lot like the bottle connection on Soviet regs! It might have been a proprietary connection to the tank valve.

IMG_2977 by Vancetp, on Flickr Shortly after, the regs were marketed under the Snark III name. V-2s were named after the Nazi rockets that were used during WWII. Probably not a great strategy to appeal to the Allied countries while wounds were still being licked, IMO. The tell-tale difference between V-2s, Snark IIIs, Supers, some early Silvers, and the later model Silvers is the fancy "peacock" bottom box casting. While there are added top box engravings and numerous labels for the Super and Silver, you can easily tell a late model Silver by the added HP port and the plainer casting. |

Good morning,
Phil, the V2 you show is the hookah version, just like La Spirotechnique, Nimrod produced hookah versions of the V2 and SNARK, it's actually a normal V2, from which Nemrod removed the first stage, and only kept the second floor. The first stage is similar to the regulator used on torch welding stations, placed on the bottle on the surface and controlled by the tender. On Spiro Vintage you can see several hookahs complete with harness.
On the Adair suite, only this hookah version has a body marked V2, all the others with V2 plate have a body engraved snarkIII
On a Spanish site, I found a matched V2 in the 4000's, the body is already marked snarkIII, only the very first V2 must have V2 on the body, and the plate.

Hello, Regarding the LP adapter, I've never had one in hand, so it's impossible to take a position. However I had the caps of the LP seats of different models in hand, the smallest serial number 8520, the largest 35046, they are identical. After looking at a lot of photos and diagrams last night, I think the length of the cap thread does not change on the latest SNARKs produced, looking closely at the documentation, we see that there is not much material, and moreover the SNAK was no longer a model in high demand, moreover Nimrod was not in good health financially. |

DAAAANG! I can see why JYC was so PO'ed with Nemrod, they were totally shameless: Aqualung had their "Narghile", so of course, it would be changed to "Marguil". This feels Asian to me, like how they'll change a few things in the name and logo so that unwary customers will think it's actually Western--BWA-HAHAHAHA!  Follow the link to see what I mean: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrntYKy-g9sThey use some four-letter-words... JB
