Tank Valve with 1/4 NPT inlet for Scuba Tools H.P. Manager

[Learn Scuba Chicago]

Does anyone know where to find a tank valve that has a 1/4" NPT inlet? We have a Scuba Tools H.P. Manager with a Genesis valve that has one. Was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get them or are these special fabrications. All valves I am familiar with have a snorkel on them.

Just looking at the exposed brass in the NPT inlet makes me suspect they machined the NPT inlet into a standard valve. Just a guess though.

AFAIK these are fabricated specifically for the HP Manager. I have similar but it is SP valve. Pete (the original owner of Scuba Tools) was well known in the SP circles.

I would suggest sending a note to the current owners of ScubaTools.

That would be easy to make with an old valve, drill press, and tap. What is the purpose of this though?

the 1/4" NPT fitting goes to an HP hydraulic line which goes into the outflow port of a pressure regulator.

I have a message in with Joan over there.

My thought too.

I made one many years ago. Wasn't a big deal. Remove the dip tube, drill, tap, clean up and put back together.

Yep.... Drill & tap... Was going to have one done, but just ended up getting a while unit from Scuba Clinic Tools (Thailand).
