On a KISS are they not going to create a problem in being able to reach the valves?

It would apear that you would have to reach arround the counterlung case to reach them, I know this is possibly the point and bringing them in board but in the event of a stuck valve or failed ADV (I experianced both) I would like to be able to reach these quickly and not have too fight my way to them, Are we reducing an entrament hazard but introducing problems that could be far more serious?

Just my thoughs

With those vlaves it is EASIER to reach the knobs because there position will be about 5 cm (2 inch) lower than when using "standard pluged manifold valves).
