Adding Dil Injection button

jdz

Simon, my advice is always measure twice, cut once... good luck and let us know...

If you need spares, you could always get them in!!

I'll let you know JDZ. Spares are on hand (spare unit still) and will be doing the first stock order in about 4 weeks when the warehouse is up and running . As for the counter lung, I'm wondering whether it will need some kind of seal or just a very very very neat hole into which to screw the injector?

Simo, it will be in a physically different location regardless.
It will be in the other lung and apposing.
If that isn't enough of a clue even under stress you need another type of rebreather.

I couldn't imagine a more ergonomic position.

I put a hole im dolphin CL and I did it very slowly.
measured 572 times and then I cut a small hole and then kept trimming tiny rings off of it until the pport just fitted then I tightened it down. Perfect first go.

If you had it handy maybe an inspo manual add button would be good.
Diluent one of course.

I think what Simon's talking about is the bag material of the PRISM and getting a good seal. The connector and valve openings all have a ring that's different than the rest of the bag, and it's either to prevent leaks, prevent tears, or both.

I draw your attention to this thread also, before you start the project... http://www.rebreatherworld.com/home-...unterlung.html

use a wad punch or go to a marine canvass place as they have the gear for the job.

Gaskets are available from drysuit manufacturers. I got a spare awhile ago for a drysuit mod. Not sure which manufacturer it was ordered from. I got it and some extra drysuit valves from a local dive shop that has since closed. Glued it on and away I went. It sealed no problem on my trilam so I can't see cordura being a problem.

Si
The Gaskets under the Valves (see pic above) are almost indentical to those used on the Zeagle Bladders under the OPV Valves. I have a bladder cover or two spare that I can pull the gaskets off. I Will bring them down to Sydney next weekend and we will see if they are the right dia, maybe we can use your Dremal to cut the hole . Then you just have to glue them down onto the CL and screw down the Manual Add valve.

Another idea might be to order some of those Double gaskets from SMI that I got in for my exsisting ADV.

Cheers
Chriso

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the feedback.

Wiz,
Want the button on the front of the lung as the side mount will cause hose routing issues, and on the front it will be out of the way (starting to get a little cluttered in the centre with dry suit etc)

JDZ
Thanks for the link, but I'll just bludge on of chriso (free and pre cut)

Stefan,
yep that's what I was talking about

Chriso,
Yes please I'll grab the gasket. No you will not be allowed to go near my counterlung with any pointy/sharp objects ......ever. And no we will not be using my Dremel to do the incision!!!! When are you coming to Sydney then?

Chris

Si will pull them off tonight and throw them in my tub.

If you had phoned me back last night you would know that I am arriving in Sydney on Friday 17th March and departing Sunday 19th for Perth, no I am not coming back .

Spoke to Rich last night thinking we all catch-up Saturday in Manly for dinner and a drink.
Cheers
Chriso
