Air integrated inflator on Dive Rite wings?

[jon]

I'm diving a transpac II with Trek wings, and would like to add an air 2 or the like. Has anyone done this or know if it can be done? I'm not sure if the hose diameter on the wings is the same as the Air 2.

Did it....they fit.Only reason I did was to replace one that started sticking(power inflator)had an AIR2 laying around(how does all that stuff accumulate)Not my octo tho,still have one of those.Trying to do an OOA with an integrated is best left to circus acrobats

Did the corrugated hose get switched, or just the hard inflator unit?

Just the hard inflator,used 2 zip-ties.Dis-connected the shoulder -dump cable tho.

You can breath off a regular inflator valve by holding both buttons and breathing out your nose. Granted, it isn't great, but in a pinch it may save your life. I'd spend the moola on something else like an H-valve or something.

Good luck.

We're on Maui, Mike. I split my time between remote Kipahulu and Wailea, and I have a boat in the water at Ma'alaea.
