How big are they?
They look like knuckles to the Voit Viking doubles manifold.

Duckbill is correct! I have a Viking manifold on my twin 50's.

I'd say we have a winner.....
There are a bunch of items in the Jack the Frogman toolbox that I have no idea what they are. We will be playing Vintage Scuba Parts Detectives for a long time here at VDH....I will posts more as I get it sorted out.
Ron sent me snorkles in original wrappers.....A really cool brown sheet rubber wetsuit/drysuit. It is not useable anymore but would make a fantastic display addition. Original box for a blue Voit mask and lots of parts that still have the U.S. Divers cardboard header tag on them..

They are the elbows of a Voit manifold which was designed by Fred Roberts while at Voit. Voit part number VTK for the standard valve and VTJ for the reserve valve
They were eccentric which allowed a movement of about 3/4 inch between cylinders to insure perfect positioning of the cylinders regardless of size.
This manifold often was used with the VJ whip valve.
Both the manfold and the valve had serious design problems and only lasted a short time in the Voit armentarium.

Yeah ,but it was cool looking and very art deco-ish. Much like William's Bat Wing pack and double hose regs in general, an artist's touch , sorta like tail fins on cars. James

By the way, Bryan, in case you may need it for whatever......the Voit part numbers for those Viking manifold parts you have there are:
DS-599 Eccentric Fittings
DS-596 Cap Nuts

They look like an 1/8 NPT to 3/8-24 adapter. Possiblily for connecting a single hose second to a hookah hose. Or a metric to US adapter.Bryan wrote:They look familiar ....
