Due to a series of shoulder surgeries I cannot reach the right shutoff on my manifold. I've worked with instructors, tec-divers & commercial divers & they confirm that this is NOT a problem with my technique — it's a problem with my shoulder. SO, I am planning to rig my tanks inverted & see if it works BETTER FOR ME. (Whether this would be better for someone else is an issue that has been debated ad-nausium & will likely be debated until I'm too old to dive so I won't argue pro or con.)

Looking at the practical considerations, I would want a "OMS Stainless Steel Manifold Valve Protector — cylinder inversion unit" to protect my manifold & first-stages. This has been discontinued by OMS. Anyone know where I can get one? Any other manufacturer make a similar product?

Thanks for ANY help!
