Atomic jam nut for removing swivel hose

[eelnoraa]

Any idea where to get one? and how muc? Is there a normal version and a M1 version? what are the differences?

This is the one I use on my B2 reg. It looks like there is a "finned" verson available for a M1 but I beleive the threads are the same size.

Actually, there are at least 4 versions. originally a plastic nut, brass nut ($14), original M1, and new M1 ($20).

Any Atomic dealer should be able to get you one.

thank you. I just order one. $14 sounds expansive for just the nut, but after all, it is Atomic.

I assume you're changing to a Miflex hose? If so can you let us know how the swivel hose compares to the Miflex after doing a few dives?

I am using B2 2nd stage on long hose. But I choose to use regular rubber instead of Miflex/Phantom. My bungee onto, I got myself 22 inch phantom. My first dive with this setup told me Phantom hose isn't as flexible as I expected. Maybe Miflex will be better or Phantom needs some break in time. I will see if it gets better after more dives.

As for the overall setup, I think 7 ft is very manageable length. Definitely not too long. My current issue is hose routing with atomic 1st stage. It seems no matter which ports I use, hose got band, either by the tank or by the wing. Maybe it is a topic for another thread.

Hey Adam, I switched from a swivel on my B2 to a Miflex. Just finished 6 dives this weekend and want to know if you want to buy my old swivel hose? It was such a joy I love it, my wife has a B2 also and I am going to swap hers out as well.

What was such a joy? I have an ST1 with the swivel hose, but I use Miflex for all my other hoses. Is the Miflex an improvement over the swivel?

When I would turn my head from side to side I would get quite a bit of push on my 2nd stage. With the Miflex it feels like it has no hose at all.
