You need one of these

First Stage Regulator Adapter 7/16M - 7/16F , Piranha Dive Shop -

First stage regulator adapter 7/16" x 20 to 7/16" x 20 Male thread end is a 7/16 Female thread end is a 7/16

Scubapro included one with the MK 17 EVO (a design flaw since corrected by the evo2)

This is an adapter for transmitter onto first stage, correct? Would this be considered a new point of failure? Or not to worry with this adapter?

Don’t get caught up in all of this point of failure nonsense, yes it will add one more o ring into the system, a hose adds two or four (spool) and can allow the transmitter to swing around and bang into stuff. You will usually find aftermarket braided hoses can clear a transmitter ones that use a 9/16” wrench with out an adaptor but this simple extension mover the transmitter base far enough to allow any hose to fit.

Is this the same concept?

DGX HP 1st Stage Pivot-Swivel: 7/16-Inch M = 7/16-Inch F

This pivot-swivel screws in-line between the high pressure hose and the first stage to allow more movement of the hose at the first stage.

Well this one swivels so has an extra dynamic oring there on top of the static one

But in theory yes(ish)

Sort of but you may find it’s bulbous swivel interferes with the hose, plus the dynamic o ring.

This serves no useful purpose for a transmitter and in fact may make it more difficult to install because of the 90-deg angle you are introducing. Not to mention the failure rate of such swivels is high.

What ignoramuses ignoramtically grab tanks by the regolator, much less the pressure transducer/transmitter?

While it's never happened to me, I've run across a few people say they've had eager boat crews accidentally break their transmitter when grabbing their kit. It's happened in places when you take off your BPW/BCD in the water and hand it up to the boat crew, or full-service diving ops where they swap out your tanks for you between dives. I can't independently verify that these instances happened but that's what I've been told.

This has been discussed a million times, do what you like.

I don't want the gorram thing flopping around.

Gorram right, back berth thinking

I went with your suggestion (DGX version). For 'just in case'. Much appreciated-
