Halcyon Manifold Question 200 bar and 300 bar

[Makin Raider]

I recently picked up a Halcyon Manifold believing it to be a 300 bar but I am now thinking it might be a 200 bar. A fellow diver tipped me off saying that only the 200 bar that Halcyon makes will have the dimple for the yoke but I'm counting ten complete threads. The only markings are the Halcyon and the 3/4 NPSM, unlike the websites. Any insights?

Thanks,

Mark

IIRC all halcyon manifolds are 300 bar

I too, was under that impression, then I saw on www.halcyon.net that they do make a 200 bar, like someone said on here once before, not all stuff Halcyon makes is DIR.

300 bar vs 200 bar is not DIR vs non-DIR. Its not a big stretch that I would be wrong about Halcyon making 200 bar manifolds.

I've got a 200 bar scubapro manifold on my tanks that has been down to 320 fsw multiple times...

Posted this question on another board and got the real deal, 7 threads = 200 bar, 9 or more is 300 bar. Must be some fluke to the lot where this one got a dimple and has enough threads to be a 300 bar.

Thanks all.

I was under the impression that 200bar is 5 threads and 300bar is 7.

No fluke. Some were made that way.
