Scott,

Nothing new-fangled about it. There are hundreds
in use; take a look around.

As far as turning on a valve with one partially
installed, I do it frequently to control (and quiet)
the bleeding down of partially-full cylinders. I
wouldn't recommend screwing it in for "only a
thread or two", but backing it "out" a thread or
two and then opening the valve is no problem.

And the scenario of a dive shop monkey using a 48"
pipe wrench to unscrew one WITH THE VALVE STILL
TURNED ON is too damned funny. That would be
sort of like unscrewing the VALVE from a "full"
cylinder. If that's what you're worried about
I'd find a new dive shop. Geez!

If you need further instructions see my other
post.

Chuck
