Gas blocks

[CCTX50]

I am looking for feedback on gas blocks and other PSD equipment. I am on a team and am trying to get us caught up in the equipment curve and training curve. We currently do not have redundant air when using AGA's. We do have it when using our Gorski hardhats though. What types of gas blocks are out there? What are the benefits of using one over the other? Also, any photos of equipment set ups would be great.

My team uses the Kirby Morgan gas block with the AGA.Part Number 300-145. Bullet proof.

I think sartek has a setup designed for the aga, well and other masks also, it has quick releases if you have to move a bottle or have a new one brought to you.

Sartek Industries, Inc. RSV-1 Redundant Supply Valve

have not used one, but trying to get my unit to spring for a sample

We have used the SarTek RSV for the past 8 years without fail. The unit looks like a plastic block, but is very durable and has held up to a lot of abuse.

They're made from delrin - technically it is plastic but very strong and tough as you said. Better than metal.
We use them too
