The Oxygen Solenoid Shut-off Is A Mixed-BagInstalling an oxygen solenoid shut-off gives the diver the ability to isolate the solenoid from the supply, and depending on the design also plug in off board oxygen. This can be very handy for diagnosing and managing failures of the manual addition valve and solenoid. In certain types of unavoidable yo-yo depth profile changes seen in cave diving it also allows the diver to prevent the solenoid from unnecessarily adding oxygen. Unfortunately, isolators also increase the risk that the diver will inadvertently shutoff oxygen supply to the solenoid. If you add a shut-off, update your checklist to account for the presence of another valve. Also, because the slide valve is much easier to close than a normal handwheel operated valve, there is the possibility of something rubbing or brushing against the slide valve and causing it to close. If the diver does not notice the slide valve has accidentally rubbed closed, there is the increased risk for hypoxia if the diver does not properly monitor their PO2. Dive Gear Express does not recommend inline oxygen shut-offs for sport CCR diving. |
