"Dräger" DIN to DIN manifold needed

[janne]

Dear All,

I just got my two 7 L Dräger tanks, but I just noticed that there are no manifolds for these tanks available.
Idea is to build twins, but there are couple of problems. First there are no valve (sets for twins) available for these tanks (thread is old). But I have single "original" valves installed. Secondly there are not manifold available on stores that would fit my purpose.
Even on Wiki that kind of from two DIN (Regulator thread) to one DIN manifold is mentioned but I do not yet find that on anywhere.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_manifold#/media/File:Draeger_200_bar_cylinder_valves_with_manifold_and_reserve_lever_P5070175.JPG

I mean only that connection piece that connect tanks.

Does anyone have spare or knows where (in Europe) where to buy one of those?

With Regards

Janne,

First, welcome to the forum! You'll find a lot of people on here who know a lot about vintage diving, equipment, and many other things!

Unfortunately, I don't know where you'd find anything like that! Do you have the same setup (minus the center section) as in the picture, including a reserve valve?

Hopefully one of our members can help!

Good luck!

First, welcome here! We will enjoy talking with you about options.

Now, about your problem. How about a DIN adapter to the US Standard valve? Put two of those in, then use a twin tank bar yolk for connecting the two cylinders. It is also called a "duel yoke crossover bar."

These crossover yokes are not now easy to find, and are considered "vintage," but do come up on E-Bay at times.

Dear All,

Thank  You for quick replies, but I think that I found seller of piece that I need.


www.tek-diver-shop.de/valves-and-manifolds/manifolds/connection-piece-for-tanks-2x-5-8-e-1x-5-8-i-171mm::728.html

I think that You helped the rookie with correct wordings.

And then with: GTIN/EAN: 4250605403706 code You can find multiple seller of these.

janne : Why not use a Poseidon manifold with reserve? The Poseidon 2x7 200bar sets had valves that were wery similar to the Draeger to the point where you could change either one(or both) of the Poseidon valves or complete tank for a Draeger one and it would fit perfectly. Actually I have a 2x7 with Draegers and a Poseidon manifold myself.

Should be easy to find in Finland next to Sweeden like it is in Norway.

It ewen have an extra hp port on the underside.
