David wrote: I was just told that two manifolds failed in G. Springs. The story was that they were from Diver's Supply in Florida. Also they were different that the ones Dive Rite sells. I have it that the manifolds come from the same source in Switzerland. They're called MVS for Modular Valve System,at least in Diver's Supply catalog. I've seen people recommend that shop on this list and have heard from other Florida cavers. Can you guys comment or did around and found out the story and relay it back. I'm a little skeptical about this source as he's a Dive Rite shop who makes his money off selling Dive Rite. ************************************************************************ Both manifolds are exactly the same! I own both, one from Dive Rite, and the other from Divers Supply. These MVS manifolds are of excellent design.If someone drops their tanks, or runs into the cave ceiling at high speed on an DPV they could possibly do damage to the isolator valve. Any failure is most likely abuse. ED Edward P. Stoner Denise M. Stoner carstair@ix*.ne*.co* carstairs@ao*.co* Orlando, FL USA March 29, 1995 11:28 pm
