Exg Inflation Gas selector?

[211ratsbud]

Does anyone know where the inflation gas selectors that Graham Blackmore is using come from?

The brand appears to be exg. Google didn't really come up with anything related to that.

what is an "inflation gas selector"?

I don’t get it as well; but that kinda sounds like a multi source mav block (without the leaky valve part)
My question is why? (if it’s what I imagine it is)

best answer is to ask him, second best is to at least give us a picture or link to something where we can see it.

This is particularly confusing because he should be using a stock GUE JJ which will only have a single standard suit inflation cylinder. If you're talking about Dil then you'll have to post a pic because they won't be using a gas block for diluent either.

The two photos are not on Graham but he has one on his rig and his videos you can see it occasionally. Graham also uses the qc6 with a splitter to supply I'm assuming the ADV and Bov offboard.

They are using the suit gas to inflate the wing on deeper dives to avoid using mix in the wing. I do the same thing with a inflator bungee in from the right post.

I heard (third-hand) that Graham had them made to spec.

Why?

my preference for this type of diving is to put a second 3l on the back and use that for suit/wing inflation gas. This makes the rig symmetrical opposite of the O2 bottle and means you free up the space of the small inflation bottle. I have my rack mounted Meg configured this way and many will configure the CCR Liberty-Heavy configuration with the second large bottle as well.

Why?

10/70 is expensive?

The amount of gas needed for wing inflation is like $2. If you run argon for suit inflation, that isn't free either.
