Every action is followed by a RESULT- So... what's your point?
Perhaps now we're seeing the gloating phase!

Back to our scheduled discussion, I've just received today the QC6 connectors needed to finish up the rigging of the KISS BOV, I will test-dive it Sunday and will then post a few pictures for those interested.

Will the QC6 connectors allow for enough OC gas flow/volume to adequately drive a BOV at greater depths- Lets say 5 ata or greater?

This is what I've been told, unlike the QC4 connectors. And I know a few friends who have tested their BOV (well) below 40m simulating heavy panting at depths, with no issue reported.

Yes, what is the result? Did you get your money?

Stephane, yes he did, as I had posted above before it was deleted by a Mod as "irrelevant to the thread". And I couldn't agree more on this

How do they say in UK, have some green

?

Anyhow, I've tested the QC6 yesterday, it's sooo easy. Throw the bailout tank over the gumwale (clipped of course

), jump in, attach tank to harness, click, operate bov to check: fresh gas, yeah. I've tested it at depth, and the free flow coming out of this POS regulator (still original Paragon) confirmed that the flow is good enough

.
Now I just have to switch over to the Mares reg (anybody has a spare conversion kit laying around ?), and I'll be all set.

Glad to know that it ended fine for both of you.

Do a search on this maaaaarvelous site called Rebreather World, there is a thread about mounting a second stage on the Jetsam BOV.

Hi Guilhem,

Did you mount the female QC6 on the bottle side or the BOV side?

Stephane · 28th April 2008, 18:03

Salut Fred,

Talking about the QC6 with Guilhem forced me to read the catalog again. While the flow is clearly indicated for the SESO connectors (female-body to male-stem), it is not so clear for the DESO ones.
I'll email Swagelok tomorrow.
