I have just about decided to use a 200 bar H-valve with my single stages. Of course, I will have a vintage single hose on the H.

FYI, the H-valve has to be 200 bar on the mount for the single stage if you want to get a short yoke onto it. My Mistral, DW Airstream, and Voit Polaris all will fit on a Thermo 200 bar post, but it is tight.

When you get to the resort, just ask to drain a tank and put your valve on "your" tank.

How often has a resort done this?
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

Be careful with those yokes. Look closely at that Calypso because it may not be a long yoke. It may have been switched out with a short one already :evil:
