I've looked at the past threads on this but running into an issue with the 300bar Thermo manifold. I need to replace the old manifold on a set of tanks I just acquired that had an old OMS face seal manifold on them. Parts are tough to come by and expensive for a rebuild so cost would be close to the same for a new manifold. I use DIN only and plan to head to cave country within the next year. The 300 bar manifold says it is rated for Air only is the issue. But I have been advised that some techs in cave country may get weird about filling my OMS 98s without a 300bar manifold. Not sure why. I gather that it doesn't really matter if you use the 232 or the 300 bar. Would prefer not to pay extra for O2 cleaning on a new valve. Thoughts? Ok to just get the convertible 232 with a service pressure of 3442?
