I am looking for some info on how to adapt a OC/CC DSV for my MCCR Dolphin. I am looking at getting the KISS and I had seen somewhere that it is possible to get it to fit into the Dolphin breathing hoses. If anyone has info on how to do this I would appreciate it. Thanks

You're in luck, it seems to be a piece of cake. You need only replace the Drager O-rings with ones that are a bit thicker.

Take a look on Kim Meineche's site for his details and pics.

Click on rge OC-DSV heading.

Here's an excerpt from the write up:

Then we had to figure out how to make them fit the hoses on our Dolphins, since these are a lot different in size and shape, compared to the hoses on the Original KISS Rebreather. To our big surprice, all we had to do was replacing the O-rings on the Dräger DSV hose-fittings, to make them fit the KISS OC-DSV. The Dräger hoses could now be mounted exactly like we were used to, on the Dräger DSV! :-)

If you should like to do the same it is, OF COURSE, at your OWN RISK!!!
The size of the O-rings we have been using for replacement on the Dräger hose-fittings are:
Inlet fitting: (3x25)mm
Outlet fitting: (2,5x25)mm
Notice, that the O-rings had to be stretched when mounted on the Dräger hose-fittings.

I'm kinda waiting to see what Gordon's new DSV looks like before I get one of the current ones, I'd like to add this to mine as well.
