Check it out. A fitting has been designed to screw directly onto a 2nd stage which can allow a inflator hose to be connected to it. You can now access your onboard oxygen very simply. This is very nice if you have large on-board oxygen cylinders. Part number is DRT-43-1 and MSRP is $29 U.S. They're brand-new so be patient if your DR dealer doesn't have it in stock yet.
Yes those things have been around. Can be bought as an add on to the Ocean Reef FFM. But with a CEJN-connector.
I just happened to order machining of a couple of this sort of adaptors for my sling-Rebreather ADV and for add on 2'-stages.
But I'm cuirous, does a std BCD type connector have enough flow for breathing? I guess DR figured it has?
I remember discussions about it and that a CEJN-fitting is better because of its better maxflow. And all those Air2, AutoAir and similar devices. They all use other connectors than std BCD. Must be for a reason?
