Cool New Regulator Shut-Off Valve
February 10, 2008 9:06 am Deals and Sales
Back in our Apeks regulator days, one of the very popular products was the Apeks regulator shut-off valve. At $65, it was an expensive touch, but customers still seemed to see the need and fork out the high price for this unique product. For the past two years, numbers of people have asked about them, but we were unable to supply them. Now, we have a better product at a MUCH better price.
At only $26.00 each, the Highland Millworks regulator in-line shut-off valve is the perfect application when you want to make sure that your backup regulator isn’t stealing your air supply when you aren’t watching. Often times, as we move through the water, the octopus is slowly leaking air, reducing our available air time, cutting our dives short, and robbing us of valuable emergency air. The installation of the Highland Millworks in-line shut-off valve solves the problem. With clear ON and OFF positions marked right on the valve, you can set the valve to OFF, guaranteeing you that there will be no unseen loss of air. In addition, the Highland Millworks in line shut off valve is the perfect safety solution should either the primary or backup regulator fail. When OFF, no air flows. In the ON position, there is absolutely no obstruction of air flow.
This valve is also perfect for pony bottle regulators, decompression rigs, and technical diving stage bottles. Give yourself added safety by installing Highland Millworks Regulator In-Line Shut-Off valves on every second stage. This is one of those simple accessories that can cause no harm, but provides gigantic benefits in free-flow situations. For additional information about this product, visit the link below.

I have the Apeks version (several in fact) and these will be the same except these have the on and off logos that the Apeks don’t have…. (and much cheaper as well)as to how they work ,they work great, simple but they work, I use one on my bungee octo on boat dives to avoid free-flow when going off the boat. You will see this product on many rebreathers.

These Look like a very good idea esp in colder water where your regs might freeflow being able to shut down a reg is invaluable.

Interesting, but this does seem a little dangerous, when the sh*t hits the fan thats one more thing to remember!

I agree with Rob. I’m sure that there are practical applications for this product, but I feel that it COULD cause undue stress and panic in a less experienced diver in the event of an emergency.
