I have an Oxy 18 on mine. I really just got it rigged out and only a shallow dive in Table Rock and a couple of pool test dives. The plate is fine with small wings, why wouldn't it be? Not a good pic but this is an Oxy 18 right here:ErosJax wrote:Sorry about that. I must have read through that particular discussion 10 times before, but just haven't recently. I think I was curious if anyone has used the VDH plate and one of the smaller donut wings such as the Hog 23 lb or oxychecq 18 lb. I saw there was mention of a few people that were going to try those types out, but I didn't see any replies regarding how it actually worked out for them.
You are welcome, glad I could help.ErosJax wrote:Nemrod ~ Thanks for the pic and the assistance. You answered all my questions.

While I just started using the vdh plate, my Oxy 18/30 both have many dives with double hose regs and no wear. The band clamp just does not dig in as some seem to think. For one thing, the wing actually forms between the rear can and valve.kworkman wrote:I had a similar question but am using an 8" tank. Not a big deal and can find info on here Im sure but hss there been any issue with the band clamp digging into the wing since the attachment point faces down?
