erm, doesn't adding a manifold ADD O-rings?

It depends what you have now. I have a bunch of 90 degree elbows on the first stage ports. It came that way and otherwise I would have hoses heading in all directions and bent in weird angles. LP Dil Side - ADV, BOV, MOV, LP Inflator, OB Gas. With custom hoses and the manifold all the 90 degrees go away and I get better hose routing.

I agree that if there were no 90 degree elbows then adding the manifold would add one additional hose and two O rings. If I don't count the O rings on the 1st stage lp port plugs.

Glad I am getting rid of a bunch of those O rings with the install of the manifold from Lance.

Eric, can you give me a link to the place you got the shutoff valve like the one on Lance's rig?

John,

I don't have the exact same piece that Lance has. You may want to source it through him or off of Rasmus' website. I'm using an inline shut off available from any of the online guys here in the States. BTW, the manifold is back on the rig, but only to facilitate two offboard whip directing gas to the BOV. It is not plumbed the Rebreather itself, and there are no elbows or swivels.

So do you mean your inline shutoff does not screw directly into the 1st stage port?

Correct. I may source out the Rasmus shutoff.
