Tilt-valve piston DH idea

[nikeajax]

Hmmmmmmm! Lookin' at Graeme's reg, got me to thinkin' whilst going for a walk this morning...

So, why does the first stage need to be centered above the cans? What if it was centered between the two air horns, thus allowing the cans to be dropped super low. If the first stage was something like our beloved Scuba Star, you could do something a lot like this:



I'm sure we can get James to print something up

Just a thought...

JB,

You don’t need to have the first stage centered. I know of two double hose regulators which did not have the first stage centered.

I really like the layout of the Hydro-Twin, as it allows the regulator to be about 2 inches lower than a USD Aquamaster/RAM would be.

I was thinking, it wouldn't need to be a tilt-valve, a downstream valve with a venturi-tube pointed own the horn would be be even better.
