Air2/SS1 nipple with 3/8-20 thread??? Does it exist?? Machinist Needed??

[rhwestfall]

As a gear snob - I want it!

A true gear snob would have a full kit of each.....

I'd just have the adapter handy...

Or, since the fittings are now threaded instead if press fit/crimped on the hoses, I'd probably just carry the fitting to swap out....

or swap a hose...

Is this a metric thread, 3/8- 16 and 3/8 24 are common/standard but this sits right in the middle of thread pitch/count.

Major thread diameter is . 3710 on the calipers and 20tpi gauge lines up perfectly.

There is an adaptor to connect a SP/atomic hose to a standard inflator

I carry one anytime I have an air 2 hose in case there is a problem with the octo inflator and I just put a regular inflator on.

I just bought one at dive gear express. I can now use the adapter and plug in the "IP guage directly. Seems like a no brainer for the air 2 users. I didn't even know it was made until a few weeks ago.

DGX Adapter: BC Integrated 2nd Stage Hose = BC Inflator

This adapter allows a hose with a high-flow quick disconnect for an Integrated Second stage to be converted into a BC inflator hose.

That’s like 9.5mm, odd so where did they come up with this thread? It’s not tapered so?

Not a tapered thread. It's an atomic exclusive it seems lol

Seems so odd that they would bother

Nice, thank you.. any reason to carry the adapter that goes standard hose to air2 .. I think I have seen that one for like $40.. ( trying to be proactive, say in case bcd has an issue, the cheaper adapter lets you rent or borrow a regular bcd.. the adapter from standard hose to air2 could be if your reg has an issue and need to borrow rent one, vs swapping inflators... not sure how much a regular inflator is for a scubapro...) just thinking out loud... ordered my air2 setup yesterday

don't think there is one. It won't work safely.

the standard BC inflation nipple/hardware/shraeder valve does not provide a sufficient flow rate to easily breath from at depth.
