The LOLA Flexible Manifold Valve Kit, available at DIR-STORE, is an innovative and exclusive engineering solution designed for technical divers seeking maximum structural flexibility in managing their twinset. Unlike traditional rigid manifolds, this system uses a high-pressure braided steel flexible hose to connect the two cylinders. This architecture eliminates mechanical stresses due to slight cylinder misalignment, protects the valves from violent impacts against rocks or wreck overheads, and allows the cylinder spacing to be varied according to the diver's specific hydrodynamic needs.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Flexible Anti-Shock Connection: The heavy-duty braided metal connecting hose absorbs vibrations and structural flexing. In the event of strong impacts on the back (frequent in cave diving), the system flexes instead of breaking or cracking, preventing catastrophic gas loss.
-
Highly Modular Split Valves: The kit includes two symmetrical valve bodies (Right and Left) equipped with dual handwheels and dedicated connections for the flexible isolator. The valves allow for redundant first-stage management and rapid flow isolation in an emergency.
-
Convertible DIN/INT Connections (230 bar): The main turrets support high-security DIN screw connections and can be instantly converted to international yoke (INT) connections by removing the internal poppet.
-
Standard M25x2 Neck Thread: Universal M25x2 installation thread with high-resistance O-ring seal, compatible with all modern diving cylinders.
-
High-Grip Tech Handwheels: Supplied with robust black anti-shock rubber handwheels. The deep geometric shaping ensures optimal grip and excellent maneuverability even in icy water with dry gloves or thick neoprene gloves.
