DIR Manifold for Faber 12s
Had a search for info on this without too much luck save that Andy K has used one with normal MDE manifold, but was wondering what valves and manifold you fellow DIRs have on Faber 12s

Spoke to good ol Mr Nakers and unfortunately the ScubaTec manifold is not ideal for Fabers. So what are my other choices?

Brian

EDIT: ScubaTec manifold fine for Fabers, V4Tec bands not

I believe Agir Brokk or Scubapro are both ok. If I remember correctly Frogman used Agir on his Fabers.

Cheers

I think the Agir and Scubatec ones are the same.

What's the problem with them supposed to be? Surely as long as your bands and valves match in terms of centre there won't be a problem.

Well, it is cheap stuff and it comes almost from the local gardening store, but it works fine and it's very solid. We tried to destroy one by hitting it with a hammer... we succeeded but we really had to hit it hard - http://www.stde.ch/en/faq.php

Why's that?

I've got them on all my Faber cyls (12's, 15's and 18's)

I'm not a fan of the Scubapro manifolds. The centrepieces are a bit fragile.

I think maybe it was an issue with getting the right sized bands to go with the manifold. Not really too sure as it's supposed to be a surprise birthday present for me, and it was my sister that spoke to Phil. She let the cat out of the bag once it started getting technical.

Bob, what bands are you using to make it all work???

Right - if I've understood this correctly the issue is not the manifold but the bands.

You need Agir or Highland Mills bands in order to twin 178 fabers.

The Scubatec manifolds are fine - just not the v4Tec bands.
