My little twin 72s

[Walter]

I set up a couple of slim 72's back in '89. I've done the majority of my diving with them since.

nothing special about it...

the only ones I know of that use taper threads are the old healthways tanks with the 1/2" taper thread. I don't think you can get a manifold for those. lots of them use the 3/4" thread though, and just about any manifold will work.


Has anybody ever tried a setup with double 72's with a pony bottle (say a 50) mounted upside down in the middle?

Thats cool. I thought i would need a special manifold and valves.

What do you guys think of a couple of these.

I think they are 72's

When I put em on the scale at the LDS..

Seems much less than a set of 104s.

mine weighed 48 lbs with manifold, bands, and empty.

looks like they have the 3/4" thread, and looks like a 72, but the pic is a bit fuzzy

from the numbers she's posted, they are 2250psi tanks, looks like the last hydro was 1978

I would also think that the double 72's are more negatively buoyant than my single faber LP 95(+2lbs empty). Any idea what the buoyancy characteristcs of the double 72's are?

[canuckdiver]
