Hi Joe-
The biggest challenge for many folks seems to be finding left hand versions of common valves. All the big guys make them (OMS, Thermo, etc.) but finding stocking dealers can be tough, especially w/ the more obscure tank threads like used by the Luxfer 300 bar tanks.
After years of OC diving I’ve got a basement full of bottles & valves that are all RH except for those on manifolds. When setting up a new pair of Rebreather tanks, I’m faced w/ decision whether to break up another manifold & try to ebay the isolator and individual bottles, or order and wait for a new LH valve, and sell the doubles as a unit. Having a ready source of LH valves would make that decision easier.
Best,
Ken
Ken, we have full stock of Left and Right Thermo valves there is no shortage of those. The only issue with those valves is that they are made for H and Cross overs and have that other portion to them that the Rebreather may not need.
We are also bringing in the Left and Right SOS valves (OMS gets those too) we should have those in January.
We are also working on a Pillar Valve that has a knob on the top and a single outlet that lets you put it where you want -- the only issue i see with that is mounting bottles upside down -- its great for horizonal mounting like on the Draeger and Azzimuth.
The valve that is on the Luxfer 300 bar hoop is the 7/8's 14 thread and we have those as well. OR are you looking at the M18 and M25 thread ?
I appreciate your help.
Regards,
