1\4 inch LP Hose Cap -- Arg Help!

[david_nj]

Howdy all, somehow i managed to lose the little dust cap that covers the nipple where the LP hose connects to my Zeagle Octo+. Because I don't really know what to call it, searching is proving difficult. If it makes my babble any more clear, I want the rubber piece that you put on after diving to protect the fitting.

So if anybody can point me to where I can grab a few online, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Most dive equipment comes with the little red rubber dust caps when ordered from the manufacturer. My local dive shop throws them away by the dozens. Stop by a dive store where you live and ask the service technician for some. They come in all sizes.

Probably just as well without it. It is used to protect the inlet but should not be installed until the inlet is clean and dry. Scubapro calls it an "inlet protector" and is part # 21-082-101. If installed while the inside of the inlet is still wet, it just invites corrosion.
