Subject: Re: 72s / 10L. as doubles
Double Manifolded 72s (2x10L. very close comparison) are very common in
Italy, and I think around the Mediterranean. They are made by Faber, Have a
common boot that is taller then usual, and keeps the tanks toghether.
They have Din Valves with a manifold, you can have an isolator, but usually
have none. No metal bands are used to keep them togheter, the boot and the
manifold are strong enough. They are attached to a normal BCD with long
cam-bands.
I'm sure you can have them with metal bands and screws if you want. They
have been them around for 30 years, and I never seen / heard of any major
leaking or problem.

I have also single 18L. / 127s with double din valve, and with a little
overpressure can give me about the same gas as the normal double 72s.

I say normal tanks rated to 200bar/ 3000 psi, because the newer coming out
from Faber are in the 250-300bar    3750/4500 psi.

Valve thread is 25x2mm or variuos others threads. they come O2 clean with
green valve knobs if you want.

Roberto
