"Older" Beuchat Y Valves

[Seraphimx]

Hi I have already 2 of these and I'm looking for more.

Anyone has any that they want to get rid of?

Twin Dip Stick Beuchat Y Valve like this

I'll pay? 100$ each? 150?

I like these.

I have older ones that are yoke, have a single dip tube and the handle is small and the yoke fits over the handle. I used them until about 6 yrs ago.

I know which ones. No, I wanted the older to the current model.

I wanted to have the twin dip tubes, so it's true redudancy.

I've seen these valves (and used them) when I went on a trip to Marseille, France.

It was setup like regular diving gear but your octo was on the other regulator to be redundant.

Thanks

Good luck, i'm not sure a double dip tube provides much redundancy, won't help for water, but I guess for rust, it might block one dip tube and not the other.

I could be wrong, but is the dip tubes smaller in diameter than a single, all mine are single. I use them for 100% o2 hanging under boat with two regs, as a safety precaution on deep deco dives.

What is your purpose, your redundant air source, If so the H valve was the way to go back in the day, and in Europe.

I guess from your area, witch I was Great Lakes, the reason was reg freeze up, yet it never involved the valve. I do like the Idea, just it is extreme unless Ice diving in 40 below. To date my double hose and any old valve I could Ice dive The Great Lakes, any time of the year.

I do like the set up though of dual dips.


Happy Diving

I want to have the same setup for double and single tank configuration.

If I want to do TDI classes they want their students to have H or Y valves on their single tanks and manifold etc. on the doubles.

I don't really think H valves are really redundant since it:
1- Shares the same air path. Your main valves flops both won't work.
2- It doesn't use modular add-on which has two o-rings and can fail too.
3- Valve position are kinda funky on H valves (or the newer beuchat Y valves)
