BMCL, T-piece and lid adaptors

Some quick questions about the hose connectors on the Meg...

I have read that the later Meg units have different thread connectors for the T-pieces and lid adaptors to prevent putting the hose configuration in reverse. Is it correct ?

I ask because I have one of the earlier Meg units (with J/S electronics) so all of the connectors seem to be universal. And I will need to order some connectors to complete my Meg BMCL.

At the moment, I have tried the BMCL from the APD unit on the Meg and it works fine. However since the flow direction is reversed on the Meg compared to the APD, I would like to make a dedicated BMCL with the ADV on the inhalation (right) side as well as O2 on the exhalation (left) side.

So which connector should I ask ISC in order to fit my existing J/S lid (which has universal thread) ?

TIA

If you need the regular ways thread, then you want the inhale side bits. Exhale is the reverse threaded side.

hope thats what you were looking for.

Thanks a lot for the info.

At least now I could contact ISC and ask/verify the parts easier.
