Setting up doubles

[gbaillie]

I want to set up doubles with two Faber STEEL 12L tanks. I have a pair of Scuba Pro X-Tek twinning bands (171mm diameter) and a 7" APEKS manifold. Will these items fit ok? Sorry for mixing SI and imperial, but these are the items as described. With thanks

can you post the part number of the manifold? If the bands fit the tanks, then that's fine, and I imagine they're a standard spacing. The Apeks manifold should be a standard spacing assuming it's new

This is the package of the manifold.

@gbaillie the specs for that product from Apeks say it is designed for 171-178mm center spacing, which matches the bands, so as long as the bands are the right diameter for the tanks, it should go. Just go slow with it

Looking at the specs for Faber 12L Steel tanks the diameter seems to be 178mm so hopefully that will be ok. Thanks for your help.

Watch the video. It includes specific directions for determining if the manifold is compatible with the bands.
