Bill West replied to George Patterson's discussion bailout up or down"I prefer valve down. I have had he valve turned on without knowing it in both positions it's esaier to acess down. Another problem used to be sticky EGS valves but I think that ones been solved."
Scott Duncan replied to George Patterson's discussion bailout up or down"upside down easier to reach back and turn it on, but if your off at hat and on at bailout i would think right side up would work just fine its all personal preference but when you need it as long as you can get some air into your lungs thats…"

Jeramy Towers replied to George Patterson's discussion miller cst 290"The inverter issues are when you are useing a unit that has AC/DC setting and the inverter switching to AC. The Brocco starting rig does not have that issue`."

Any of you guys used this as a uw welding / broco starting rig we have obtained one on site and are considering using it as our main broco /welding power source to save having to tow a generator welder whenever we need it (our dive conainer is powered by a 3 phase genny) iv heard there are some potential safety concerns about using an inverter system can anyone elaborate or let me know where i can get some more info we will be using the rig for inshore construction projects to a max of 20m…See More
Chuck Bonner replied to George Patterson's discussion bailout up or down"I have to agree with Stuart here if your rig is crap whats it matter down or up? Ive dove both ways over the years and I found that in both positions it still gives you air when needed"
Ron Austin replied to George Patterson's discussion bailout up or down"Just how many hats don't have a EGS? I can think of the Gorski, Swindel, and Desco Pot."
Ace Parnell replied to George Patterson's discussion bailout up or down"Skylar,
They use to run scuba tanks upside down on at least one model of the Scott Hydro Pac it was a full face rig in the mid 1950's to the 1960's. You could reach around and control the valve on that rig. Pretty cool rig the full face…"
PAISTE replied to George Patterson's discussion bailout up or down"If you hat doesn't have a EGS valve (like the Gorski), you need to have it down. If you have a leak, you can just shut the valve off at the bottle, get the dive done, and fix your leak later."
Shane "Bounty" Gardiner replied to George Patterson's discussion bailout up or down"Personally I always have mine valve down but on at the bottle people say one more valve to turn but the way ive always seen it and stood stong on it is so the 1st stage is always charged and you know theres not severed or burst hose during the dive,…"
Adam D. Laurent replied to George Patterson's discussion bailout up or down"Down! Always! It would be a shame to find a diver dead on bottom cuz they needed to go on bailout and the valve had accidentally been shut but they were unable to open it because they couldn't reach the valve....."
