Best cylinders for the Meg (UK)

Moray Brown · 9th January 2007, 20:11

Whats the best sort of cylinder valves (UK) Looking at the inspo ones will the valves/handles be facing back due to type of valve, is it better to go for the good old pony type valve, it looks as if this will allow handles to be positions right

Go for handed valves as in a manifold without the centre section.

The inspo valves will not be comfortable.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

I just use standard Faber 3l 232 Steels with some MDE ;handed; valves. Works a treat on the Meg.

MDE are stopping making the seperate handed valves, they can now only be bought as part of a manifold, Beaver continue to make them though.

I have an old scubapro manifold which I can break into in left and right. Do you know where I can get some blanking plugs for where the isolating bar screws into each valve?

beaver - the manifolds use the same threads

and shop that does beaver products should be able to get them, there might even be an ebay shop selling them.
