Switching blocks

Hi All,
Just asking if any of you out there are diving with switching blocks. Have seen the M&J one, would like to see what else people are using. I U.K. based but with the internet will look abroad, (prefer uk tho) always nice to see pic's, If shy can PM me.

Many thanks

I've got an MJ one that I don't need. Perfectly fine and brand new. Do you have any questions about it, and are you interested?

Hi dude,
Have seen the M&J Looks like nice bit of kit.
Would like to see what else is on offer!!!!

Can you shut of both ports on the M&J so no gas at all???????

Use to use a "Thomson block?" I think but cant seem to find them any more.

Cheers

I also have an elbow, and at least one 3/8m to 9/16F adapters.

Both ports can be shut-off if desired.

no because they are unecessary and add risk

Thanks for your lack of intrest "Drmike". Now how about some interlectual input from some of the more open minded divers out there.

Your wish is my command............. I agree completely with Mike. You won't find many companies making them as many people see them as a poor solution for divers that are looking for a piece equipment to make up for a lack safe diving practices.

I'm one of them.

Me too. I wasted some 300$, and I now would not sell.

Anybody got any ideas what to do with a redundant gas switch block?

My M&J is plumbed into my BOV from both onboards. Sanity when I need it and access to another 600ltrs of pure O2 without a reg that can free flow.
Rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

Who makes 'em;
M&J
Kirby Morgan
Sartek
Ocean Reef
Interspiro
