Low pressure ports

[MistralMan]

I was trawling through the internet and came across an interesting site dedicated to Medi twin hose regulators. One of the photographs shows a tapping in the casing feeding an octopus and a low pressure inflator. Unfortunatly I don't speak a word of German, can anybody give me the jist of it?

This is an interesting idea, has anybody tried this on other regs?

I had three years of German in high school, but that was so long ago I cannot use it anymore. But the concepts look good. It seems that there are several approaches, and one was to provide a fitting on a DIN valve to give two attachments for regulators, one of which was used for the MIDI, and the other for a single hose's first stage for LP ports.

The actual modifications to the regulator look okay; I have heard of others making tapped and threaded outlets for both HP and LP ports on a Snark III regulator. It actually looks to be easier than the MIDI.

I don't have the need, as I have two regulators with these attachments (AMF Voit Trieste II and Sportsways Hydro Twin). I also have a Sherwood valve with two posts (one central and one on the tank) that I use with twin hose regulators.

MistralMan,

Here is the webpage in question translated from German to English:

Google provides this service at the following site:

It's not perfect but it does a pretty good job.

If your looking for the correct translation not just a close approximation, Justleesa is who you would want to contact.

Hope this helps,
