1/2" port & atx 50 dst

[jacek]

I've been reading a couple of posts about the atx 50 dst ports and I'm getting more and more confused.. I've never seen this reg in real life so maybe that's why.. you have 4 low pressure ports, two on the left hand side and two on the right hand side. the two ports on the left hand side are the standard 3/8", one port on the right hand side is 1/2' and the other one is the standard 3/8".. you plug in your primary and your octo on the right hand side; which goes into which port ? or do you have to plug in one of them into one of the two ports on the left hand side and leave the 1/2" unused ?

The DST has a swivel turret - the 1/2" port can be rotated to be on either side. I originally ran my primary off the 1/2" port, but after moving to a long hose / bungeed backup configuration, simply rotated the 1/2" port to the other side of the regulator and plugged it with a 1/2" -> 3/8" adapter, and 3/8" port plug. The reg breathes just as well off either a 1/2" or 3/8" port in my experience.

Fully populated, a DS4 or DST will have the primary off the 1/2" port (in theory giving "best performance" to the primary -- in reality this is marketing hype) the backup or octo off the 3/8" port, on the other side you'll have the BC's LP inflator off one 3/8" port and your dry suit off the other.
