Mike,

The connection to the 2nd stage should be a quick release mechanism, the ideal would be to use the same as for the offboard connection on Boris (Swagelok) not sure on the specs concerning the flow (restriction) if it is good enough for OC at depth!

A little bit like Bob Howell use to have with is BOV and quick gas connection system

Cheers,

Thats right, but as you mentioned I doubt the Swageloks will give enough flow for a 2nd stage at depth - but Ill check.

Ive had good experience with APDs quick connects with my current BOV but they do require frequent cleaning or they stick.
