H-Valve vs. Y-Valve

[John_B]

I've seen that Y valve on a tank, but never without, so that is pretty interesting that it has two dip tubes. Does it really have independent air paths?

Yes, at least the Beuchat version of the Y-valve does.

First of all I am NOT a DIR person. Them preferring an Y over an H is a mystery to me as with an H you can shutdown a regulator set independent of the other, however a Y only allows the whole system either on or off.

Not correct for the Beuchat Y-valve. Which Y-valve are you referring to?

Here's a thought, if you want redundancy, but don't want to lug around a big set of doubles..

Yes. Is it too late to correct misinformation?

Seeing as how the misinformation was already corrected in post #3, 13.5 years ago at the time of the original question, and the person you are asking hasn't logged in to this site in over 10 years, I would hazard to say in this case you are a bit late.
