4.8 Shortening the ADV and OCB hoses on the latest screw connector
end (AP300)
Pre June 2014, the 9/16” UNF female fitting or “screw connector” hose had a crimped fitting,
and those hoses are only length adjustable at the other end of the hose by removing the 3/8”
UNF end fitting. The “screw connector” type of fitting is used on all sports diving 2
nd
stage
regulators and is also used on the Inspiration rebreather’s ADV (auto diluent valve) and OCB
(open circuit bailout valve) hoses.
Post June 2014 the ADV and OCB MP hoses also have removable screw connector ends.
Shortening the ADV/OCB MP hose on the screw connector end is done essentially the same
as described above:
- You now unscrew the complete screw connector part from the hose collar.
- Use a 17 mm spanner and a 5 mm Allen key.
- Unscrew anti-clock-wise.
- Re-assembly is done essentially the same way as described in paragraph 4.6, but using
a 5 mm Allen key instead of a second spanner.
