A mono valve is a valve with 1 connection point. A double valve has 2 connection points. A second connection can be fitted with a single valve with an extra port or with a lateral valve. A lateral valve is used for double set set-ups. You will always need a left and right valve with a manifold.

A left hand valve is a standard valve. When standing in front of the tank, the knob to open the valve is on the left hand side. A right hand valve is used when side-mounting or diving a double set.
