Halcyon valves/manifolds

[Dr. Lecter]

Just curious if anyone knew why they got out of the valve/manifold market?

Cause after they put an "H" on the valve, jacked the price up to twice what they could otherwise be bought for, oddly enough nobody wanted to buy them.

By that logic, they should be selling zero products by now. Seriously though, the H single valves seem to have been priced about the same as the $70 thermo single valves I see offered now, and have a better valve stem seal to boot. Not to mention the low profile shape.

An employee @ Halcyon advised me quality control was the reason for exiting the valve market.

I still cannot find any manifold with radial o-ring on the valve stem besides Halcyon.

IIRC, the early models were the same as SeaElite. It was the later models with modifications that made them different.

DIR ZONE valves have the radial config, interestingly they also resell the Halcyon valves.

IMHO there is no better setup than DIR ZONE manifolds with 3inch wide Highland bands!

good to know I have never heard about DIR ZONE

Do you have a link to that part of their site? I looked but didn't see any.

luccabrassi, thank you for the helpful comparison.
