Re: Valve Types

Inspo, evo and PRISM all use a similar valve where the knob is opposite the DIN orifice. Therefore they can be used on either side, you don't need a 'handed' valve.

TD Preece (Aust) is one source for them, however they seem unenthusiastic about supplying. There is at least one other manufacturor (Alpha diving have them) who makes a valve in this configuration. I'm actually waiting on a call back from someone with a clue after dropping in at Alpha this morning. (They only had this valve with a tapered thread, not 3/4 NSPM)
