Can anyone help me identify this valve?

Hello all...

I recently found an image of this tank valve. It appears to be a DIN configured V shape valve. I tried to find a description for it on this forum, but couldn't narrow it down enough. I can't seem to find a name for it online either. Im not even sure what to call it for a web search. I believe it's in use in Europe. Just curious....

Thx

Maybe an image would help...

We usually call them "Y" valves because of the shape. I'm not familiar with that particular one. Were you looking for what it's called or who makes them?

Yes, I was trying to acquire one for a HP130 I own

I see.

I think you'll probably have some luck if you google "dual (or double) outlet cylinder valve"

I can't help you much more than that, I'm afraid. These particular valves are not common in Holland and since they're rare here I'm going to say that they're probably French. The turn wheels look like the ones you see on Beuchat valves. That might be a good starting place.

Good luck.

Thanks so much for the prompt response.

Found lots of stuff you don't see every day (at least in the USA) here at Dive Live. Not exactly what you want, but maybe you can live with it?

Yes! Thanks Wookie. I spotted that style of dual outlet valve precisely on Dive Live. I think that may be a viable alternative. One of my Tech Instructors told me he spotted my mysterious "V" valve in a Florida cave country dive shop, but couldn't remember the manufacturer. LOL, maybe the manufacturer's name will elude me forever. I think now I just want to know for the cognitive value!

Such valves are popular across the pond not so much in the USA. More often you see H valves. That said Beuchat made a Y valve for the imperial threads. Here is one on fleabay:
