From the website, it looks like they used a retro valve design to allow attachment of an "H" elbow adapter. Also, DIN/yoke convertible.

Hmm, Technisub been based in Italy probably just used FABER steel cylinders, branded Technisub so no issue there, but that is a very old Italian design valve, and rather odd to find on a modern cylinder.
I havent seen one of those for a good few years, the yolk is slipped over the opening and closing handle and locked into place on the outlet as usual, nothing wrong with it, its just a design that sort of faded away in favour of side or rear opening valve handles.
Are the cylinders and valves new? If not it would explain the dated design, or maybe Technisub just found a bunch of these valves in a corner box somewhere.
Most European manufacturers use San-o-sub or Finesso for their valve manifacturing requirements, and neither of them manufacture this style valve anymore as a standard production run.................so it is odd.!

Didnt bother to look at the web site Pescador, but sounds reasonable, actually most European divers demand the din/yolk "international" style valve, and most divers here want this option as well, and an "H" duel valve adaption is very common in Italy and France, but I still find it strange they decided to put the handle above the outlet - not a common modern position at all.

That is an old old valve.....the H valves used in EU are different.
You can check in the technisub web site.

That valve must be for those folks who just can't get enough of being hit in the back of the head.
