Really? Sidemount uses left hand threads? Why?
Left tank has valve handle on the usual side ... right tank has valve handle on the opposite side.
Perhaps that's a subject better discussed in the side-mount forum ...

I have to admit I have a bias against left hand threads. That said, why are they used in side mount? I would think that if you always had to deal with right hand threads, movements would be more automatic and you wouldn't have to worry about dealing with wrong threads on the wrong side.
Curious, not critical.
