Help identify this manifold

Hey guys I have this manifold here which is 7/8 fits old pst tanks. I was wondering since I cannot locate another similar used one to compare, who made this ? Looks similar to dive rite. I'm looking for a complete overhaul kit o2 compatible seals.

O-rings should be easy but question is if you need new valve seats.

might be sea elite if there is no branding. should be able to use the dive rite rebuild kit

Was the sea elite a 7/8-14 neck threads?


I was told it was a dive rite but I have been unable to get any leads in that direction.

I have 2 Halcyons and one Sea Elite. I started with Sea Elite but had to go to Halcyons for my next 2 sets of doubles (one new, one previously had a Sherwood manifold which pooped the bed during a fill) when the Sea Elite went backordered (months ago).

The Halcyon is a beefier manifold than the Sea Elite but performance is about the same for both, excellent.

I heard also that the DiveRite is a basically a Sea Elite with garbage knobs, not positive it's truth though.

Last time I talked to Divers supply they said the Sea Elites were in transit from factory so you might recheck with them just before you order.

My personal recommendation is to go with the Halcyon if you can handle the price.

This would hit I have the Dive Rite. The crappy knobs I switched after the photo for rubber ones.

i think the older sea elites also came with crappy knobs at one point. the dive rite manifold should have dive rite either stamped or etched on the valves iirc

not really a big deal as they perform the same

I'm curious about something; isn't this a 300 bar manifold? If so, I wonder why it has the dimple on the back of the valves for a yoke screw.

 

[211ratsbud]

Probably due to shared design.

Definitely no markings

Dive Rite kits will work - based upon the age, it will probably require the "old style" HP seat, which was finer threaded. You can find kits through Northeast Scuba Supply.
