Do you strip yours?

**Freef** · 29th November 2007, 14:50

Just a quickie, I have only just found out that not all Rebreather loops come apart as far as the Dolphin's does. On the Dolph you can strip the hoses from the mouthpiece, followed by the one way valves.

Can you on yours? A model and yes or no will suffice, I suggest copying the list below:

Make/model Strip?

Drager Dolphin Yes.

DiveRite
Optima
No

easily removed from T's, but tools are needed to remove from DSV to access one-way valves.

Original Soviet (IDA/AKA etc) DSV - yes

***caveseeker7*** · 30th November 2007, 07:47

Jetsam Sport Kiss yes
Steam Machines PRISM Topaz yes

***Beanie*** · 30th November 2007, 07:51

Inspiration yes (do need a screwdriver though)

**PhilSiswick** · 30th November 2007, 10:00

Inspiration Yes

I have got a KISS BOV with Inspo adaptors. With a screwdriver, it takes about 5 minutes to open it up, change the valves and then close it up again.

Cheers,

Hi,
on my Azimuth yes, I can take the mouthpiece apart from the hoses without tools, but you can't reach the valves then, they stay on the hoses ends and you must cut the cable straps and take apart the hoses in order to reach them (and put new straps when you are ready).

Classic Kiss, yes. And with the quick disconnect coupling you don't need a screwdriver anymore.
