Apparently the idea was to get a pair of the old Dacor valves with the HP port (marketed 'way back before regulators had HP ports) and connect both sides, giving the same effect as a dual-outlet manifold. Of course, there's no isolator valve, and hoses fail more often than manifolds, so this was a scary bit of kit, but nonetheless interesting. I've never had this stuff in the water and chances are I won't. >> Last summer I saw a guy make a wreck dive to 230 ffw on trimix using a pair of aluminum 100's with Y valves interconnected with a tank equalizing whip - one of those Italian-made pieces of junk from Performance Diver - complete with non-watertight gauge!
