A real manifold, like the Sea Elite, has an adjustable center with barrel o-rings which can spin if you hit something. The oms isolator will not. That is as far as I needed to get to eliminate the oms from any serious consideration at any time. Also, the o-ring is a face seal, and is the worst way to do it, Kevin. You got fucked, to sum it up. I have all 300 bar DIN Sea Elite manifolds, but what do I know .
