They do. I have a set of twin 12s with black manifold and black valves. It was a promotion by DIRzone a couple of years ago so obviously I snapped them up.

Cheers for that Paul,

I'm guess that Scubatec is another brand name for the DIR-Zone then? They certainly look the part.

Green incoming.

Most Dive kit is made by a very small number of manufacturers and then stamped with a brand.

Brian at Ocean Explorers was an absolute champ and sorted me out a valve service kit for my set when everyone else wasn't interested in helping at all.

Might be worth giving him a call, but be prepared for the whole drama of what valves you actually have if they are DIR Zone due to the at least two or three, differnent types over the years.

a valve that complies with the DIR standards, which means that

"Manifolds should have barrel-style o-rings, no face seals, and should be adjustable. The 300 bar manifold provides more threaded depth and a more secure attachment. Valves should face straight, with no angles. "

However, in this instance, the original poster meant a DIR-Zone valve, which is a brand that complies with the above standard.

Hope that helps

Hi Garf,
without trying to be controversial, is that why we see "DIR configured" 232 bar cylinders with 300 bar DIN pillar valves / manifolds in them ? I have often wondered what the reason is behind this idea as it seems a little strange, allthough i am a firm advocate of DIN.

sorry to jump in before garf on this one but i had a set of these,

i didnt want 300 bar tins but i wanted the strength of the 300 bar manifold
