Hi Dave... My triple gas block with orifice arrived on Friday... I fitted it yesterday and am going to try it in the pool tomorrow. I have disconnected the ADV. Like you said I still have 2 means of adding dil... BOV and MAV on the block. I'm going to try it and see how I get on. Its integrated really well and looks nice and neat... I'll let you know how I get on..

Picture?

Nice! Where does the OUT go to?

KISS#183 · June 9th, 2012, 05:49 PM

Its only got one out... so I've plumbed it into where the O2 goes into the head...

Nice. Thanks for posting - not seen one plumbed in before. And space for the off-board too.

Matt.

Well I had fun in the pool last night.... O2 is nice, just as before.. Dil add wasa lot slower than I thought it would be... I was expecting the same sort of pace as the wing inflator, but flow was very slow in comparison. It works ust as it should... so I'm happy to take it into open water... The Orifice is the same size as the one in the KISS Mav so... as yet I've not messed with the ip. Flushing up and down was easy and problem free... :0)

I have the same block and the dil add is very fast.

Hi Dave was just wondering how you got on without the adv. Ive been using my 3 gas mav for a few month now and never thought of blanking it off. But now i think about it ive usually just added manualy before the adv was needed. Plus its one less miflex hose to buy.

I've blanked my ADV off... Only done a few dives. But it's fine... I'm going to swap out the old flimsy ADV diaphragm with some heavy rubber... So I can leave my neg on longer.

I'm stuck in the middle of a long move to Indonesia, so I haven't had a chance to dive the kiss yet. I have another little manifold on the way, so I may end up connecting it back up.
