Hey Lance,

You may want to look at Thermo. They make excellent manifolds & valves. We used a lot of them here in Singapore. I really liked them b'cos they have slightly higher neck & longer valves so it makes it really easy to do valve drills, etc. Price-wise, it's cheaper than H or even OMS.

Hope tis helps. Cheers!


Yazid.

Thanks Yazid for your references,

I had been looking at thermo valves, I recently purchased an alloy 80 with a thermo valve.. The quality looks good but I am concerned that the hand wheels length may be obstructive when slung as a deco bottle. Any thoughts on this would be good...

Don't think this would cause any problem at all.

When using a relatively wide swivel deco reg, the Thermo knobs are actually better than many of the shorter stubbier alternatives - at least with bulky gloves on. Reality is you probably won't notice.
