I have a set of the Rick Green doubles bands that I plan to use with a pair of Al 50s. I'm too old to hump dual LP 72s.
I bought a simple manifold that has just the center valve and outlet with a J valve feature. This manifold seems to be built with 8" center-to-center spacing. It's in the shop being rebuilt so I can't provide additional nomenclature. I think it's a Dacor valve.
I also bought (yesterday) a Sherwood manifold with the center outlet for the DH reg and a right post for a convention first stage. This manifold is built for 8-1/4" spacing.
When I measured the band spacing I get about 8-1/8" but this isn't necessarily exact because of the gap at the clamp.
Does anybody know if either (or both) manifolds will work with the bands? Is there a standard spacing for LP 72 or Al 50 doubles?
I also posted this question in the Tanks forum but I am really more interested in what the Vintage folks have to say.
I kind of like the idea of using a conventional 1st stage on the right post. Thanks to DA Aquamaster for suggesting it in another thread!
I asked over in Tanks so I'll ask here: I have a manifold with 10" spacing. What would that be used for?
Thanks
