All hail the Triples

[JES]

Bryans Triples > Robs Triples

Was there ever any doubt?

Gentleman, I have seen both sets. They are all MANLY tanks!!!

Ok, after some cursing and crying I have the triples all put together and they "appear" to not be leaking. Thanks to Bernie and Tom for all the advice and help on the phone and in emails. I definately would NOT have been able to do it with out them helping me and holding my hand ever so.

Might these tips be good to share in the "Regulator and Technical Information" forum? Many of us have the old USD double manifolds, and sealing them can sometimes be a real booger.

Yes, please post your experiences with these. One of these days I hope to get my set of triples restored as well..

Bryan, Rob, Jerry and me all had our triples in the quarry today! An awsome site!

i bet it was maybe next time saul and i can make it .that will be two more sets of triples. ps is there any vid or pictures ?? regards

The triples RULE! I still have some "issues" with 3 leaks on the manifold, but still managed EVRY dive this weekend with them. I expect that the old manifold will need some work from the master TOM M in LaPlace, but for now I think I will enjoy them for a few more dives. I do not have any pics since out camera went chest up, but I do believe that Gary, Karl, Allan, and Bryan got some pics and video. Hopefully they will post some pics of the 4 triple sets in attendance at eh big PORTAGE event.

To my suprise they were not that negative at all! I would guess 4 pounds more negative than a 72cf tank! IN fact when they were getting low on air they were down right corky and floated!

hey rob glad to hear u had a blast with ur bottles .rob may i ask what kind of orings r u using ? i had similar problems but then again i switched to buna n orings . they worked for me . regards

[sthtxdiver]

sorry forgot to mention u might also want to try quads o rings(look like minature tires) they seal on corners regards

Charlie, the leaks are at the solder joint and the nuts. The manifold needs a bit of lead or whatever solder it uses. I tried a little trick today in the neighbor's pool, but it did not fix the leak either.

hi there sorry but im having a little trouble understanding where the problem is u say nut ? insnt there an oring before ?? sodering?? cant u use cold sodering like j b weld?? just my two cents worths regards
