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

I'm using off board gas via QC6 swagelock at -180m

and it does the job

Hi Jerome, Are you using the QC6 to run a 2nd stage?

But anyway you cannot eat or drink on deco with a FFM

want to bet?

You can with KM48, just remove the pod, eat drink, then replace.

Of course it will be expensive if you only will make a few units. If you design it to suit more than the Boris you will probably sell more of them and get the cost of machining less /unit.

Of course I considered this. But even with volume reductions it still works out to be expensive (to make a good one)

Besides Im only doing it because there isnt one that will fit the Boris fittings/check valves etc - Im not doing it as a source of income - the likely returns are not worth my time.

If any Boris owner can share with me the dimensions as shown below that would be useful.

Even if they are just approximate it would help me get the design 99% complete so as to save time later when I get my unit. (going to be busy then)

Thanks
Mike

Mike,
I just finished testing the new Golem BOV. Take look at it before making yours, it might fit the bill:

If the Boris hoses have different diameter, we can probably make special attachment for it.
I'll post more info and photos in a separate thread.

Yep so like that the off board wip can feed the CCR or a second stage if bail out oc became the only option, I tried it with an ATX 50 at -120m and no prob deeper I stayed on the loop so no real try OC

Hi Jerome,

Boris comes with QC4 or QC6 fittings?

Mike, Boris comes with QC4 if you order the offboard gas conneciton.

Got yours yet?

Cheers,
