.Is there anything user servicable on these ?
TIA

I think you can change out the O-rings from memory just pull it apart no problem.

I think they are a failure point, let me correct that, I know they are a failure point.

If you want to isolate your dil shut the cylinder.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

I've done this a couple of times. Just undo the obvious allen key on the swivel and then undo the end off the flow stop. The coller will then slide off. Check and regrease the "o" rings and put back together. We have two Evo's with about 200 dives total, one flow stop has twice developed a small leak, the other has been fine throughout.
