I assume that you are refering to the OMS add in AquaCORPS N12 on page 52.
 Those aren't the extension cables.  Those things you see sticking off the
valves on two of the doubles are allen wreches use to remove the fittings to
convert the yoke valve to a DIN valve.  If that's not what you were referring
to, my appologies, excuse my stupidity.  

BUT, the point you made was exactly what I was wondering.  Are these
extensions worthy and do the serve their intended purpose with out causing
excessive drag or something to get hung up on [do their benefeits outweigh
any problems they may cause] .  OR are they just some new contraption someone
came up with that is more likely to get you into trouble than make things
easier.  

Anyone care to bat around some Pros and Cons on this ?

Thanks 

Mike
