Would that be the twin setup that Dacor had a DEMA? Is that the manifold setup that allows you to use just 1 first stage, and orient the tank knobs so they are almost impossible to reach, so you can not shut down a tank in the case of a neck o-ring, or a burst disc failure? Could it be the one that makes sure you have no good regs (only 1 first stage) if the HP seat fails, etc? :-O I took a peek at DEMA, and it was a mind twister. It looked like 2 yoke connections hooked together with an outlet in the middle. The tanks are oriented so 1 knob is pointing at your back, and the other is pointing 180 degrees (away from your back). My initial reaction was: "OK, where is the isolator..." "uh, well, only 1 reg, so isolate what?" "OK, uh, how do I shut down a tank? "Uh, I can't reach the knob" "Looking around...hey, there is the Scubapro booth (walking away)" -Jon -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
