This two regs on the same tank of air is that so you save money on weight pockets
 
I have the need for a couple H Valves, taking a class and I can use my HP120’s instead of twins if the cylinders have H Valves, looking for suggestions on best solution and supplier.

Thanks for the help

I got mine from Dive Gear Express. Note that if you dive a backplate with a single tank adapter, you might want to be sure you can actually reach both the valves behind your head. I mostly dive doubles, but I also have single LP108s set up with H-valves that I dive occasionally. I can reach the valves on the doubles, but on the tanks with the H-valves, when using a single tank adapter, it is a challenge to reach them. Mainly, I use the singles set up so that I can use the same sets of regulators as I use on my doubles without moving hoses around on first stages (although honestly that does not take much time). Only bringing this up because it might be a consideration if you're planning on using the H-valve for solo diving.
 
I have an H valve - for a different purpose though. For this class I would absolutely look at small doubles. The single 130 is not enough as to do legit AD/DP dives. Better to just take the class in doubles as you'll outgrow the single 130 about 4 dives after the class ends anyway
