Nah, sorry Colyn, no real testing. I just blew in both ends and noticed the
difference.

Bill,
I happen to be putting these valves in now. I talked to the lady at
Andair and got an answer that approximates what you have below.
....However, it would be comforting to have some actual data.
Did you happen to do any testing?
e.g. in a 2000 fpm climb you need to lose about 1.5" of mercury per minute
to avoid pressurizing. The worst case would be nearly empty tanks because
more volume of air would have to escape to maintain nearly neutral
pressure.
