Choice of external gas connector

dieseldyret · 10th October 2007, 04:56

I've decided to fit an external gas connector to the dil manifold on my inspiration. It needs to deliver a sufficient gas flow at descent dephts (say 100msw) and I'd prefer not to get any water in my hoses/manifold when making an underwater switch

I know I've read about the subjet on prior post on Rebreather World bu can't seem to locate the info now.

Anyone who feels like sharing their experience with what brand (swagelock?) or models to choose is welcome!
Or guide me in the direction of older posts on the forum on the subject.

If I may be so bold I'd like to add a supplementary request for information.

I am playing with an idea as well and need to know of fittings that do what was asked above and are fairly short in length. Info of this type would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks

CEJN 221, they work very nicely and flow enough gas to work at depth. They are on the RW store (euro version). search for cejn for more info.

Woulden't these freeflow if i disconnect it? It will of course have intermediate pressure on both sides; from my dill 1 stage and from the external 1st stage(s).

Swagelok QC4 for external diluant/oxygen.
Swagelok QC6 if you have have to breathe OC thru it (i.e. with a BOV).
But you will have a small amount of water if you connect them underwater.
