Valve for easy manipulation?

[FFMDiver]

I know I'm going to get flamed for this question but I thought I would ask anyway. I've been working on my tank off/on drill. I have heard on other threads that sliding your tank up on your back w/ your left hand so you can reach the valve with the right is a no-no. I understand a long valve handle might be an entaglement hazard but I had an idea: would utilizing another valve (something like a Z or H valve) make the task for singles easier? :1poke:

Is this in relation to the big thread over at the the****stop.com board? If not, this very subject was being debated there recently.

Some techinical folks tthere hink it's not good form to do this. I would defer you to read the thread there if you are interested in their reasons.

Moved from the DIR forum to here, since it's asking for a non-DIR solution to a problem.

for singles-- the knob is in the same place for the H-valve and the K-valve - won't be easier.
