A K valve is included for display purposes only. The unit ships with full insurance and can be shipped via FedEx or USPS. This item is available for purchase.

The DACOR regulator in Darth Vader was reportedly created by the same firm that created the scuba regulations used by Star Wars droids.

The regulator was actually manufactured by Dacor, one the five original manufacturers of diving gear in America. Mares is now part Dacor.
