Anyone used this H valve – M25x2 / 2xDIN 230b Oxygen before?

Hi folks,
I ran across this H-valve, H valve – M25x2 / 2xDIN 230b Oxygen at 72,00 € - Proteushop, though its only sold in Europe. Anyone in the States using this valve? Basically, I want to know if this valve will fit on a Faber Steel 108 tank before I order it. Thanks.

Your Faber 108s don't have metric threads. Do some searches for metric valves rapidly leaving tanks that aren't metric threaded.

Thanks, will do!

Most Faber tanks sold in the US will be 3/4" thread I haven't seen any metric thread valves in the states. Double-check the trading of your tank before you order it.

Yeah, you can kind of get a metric valve to fit a US tank, and a US valve to kind of fit a metric tank IIRC. But it ends with the valve being blown into low earth orbit, heaven help anyone in the way.

Thanks everyone. Will heed your advice and stick with US vavles.

If you can find them, the Beauchat 'Y' valves look really nice. I have seen them in person and they are well built. And the guy that does my rebuilds says they are super smooth valves. You also avoid the asymmetrical issue with H valves.

That Beauchat Y appears in their 2016 catalog as the "SAS Valve" so it would seem to be available from a Beauchat dealer. I like it better than the modular H valves.

Didn't realize Beuchat is still making Y valves. It'd be nice if they're available for 3/4 NPSM threads.

They have been made with 3/4" threads but they are very hard to find now. And you can get a doubles manifold nowadays for about the same price. There aren't many Beuchat dealers in the States.

You are better off with one of the DGX manifolds or H valves, parts are simple, easy to find and don't cost an arm and a leg. The valves are quite nice too (although I don't use modular H valves)
