Ron -

They're good, french-made manifolds but not optimal.

Plusses: barrel o-rings, rubber knobs, cheap!

Minuses: angled DIN fittings; multiple turns to open/close

The minuses are important:  the valves are not as quick to close as the 
Halcyon/Sea Elite manifolds in the event of a failure, and I find the 
angled valves put your first stages in harm's way when you're squeezing 
through a narrow hatchway.

I will be replacing mine with a Halcyon manifold in the near future. It's 
well worth the extra few dollars.

Best regards --

Bill
