Blue Steel valve for doubles

[Lopez116]

Hello,

I am trying to build "tiny doubles" and already have 2 Blue Steel DIN valves. I want to know if I can avoid buying an entire manifold (and just buy the cross bar instead). The vales have the following markings

Blue Steel

Thanks,

A picture would help. If it looks like the attached, you will not be able to use for manifolded doubles.

Yes, you should be able to. Just might end up being a special order

Edit: only if they’re the modular valves with plugs on the side opposite the valve hand wheel.

Not convertible I’m afraid, unlike what was said above

+1 that is a stand alone valve and is not convertible to a doubles manifold.

Perfectly acceptable manifolds can be bought new for $99.

Thanks for the info! Dive Gear Express has them all on backorder until January at least. Thermos are the only available with them currently.

Oh crap. I hadn't thought of the availability issue! I sold several a year ago when I sold off my tech gear. Unfortunately I don't have any more left.

No worries. Thank for the info though!

can consider diving them as independent doubles until the manifolds come back into stock or sidemount
