Broken internal threaded opdv connection

[Jruffcutt]

Greeting! I have a problem with the threaded male connection from the bcd bladder to the actual dump valve. I purchased about 30 Oceanic OceanPro bcds. Tested in quarry and pools. All tested fine. Left inflated for 2 days, all heald air fine.

Took several to the ocean on a trip and ALL failed the same way. The plastic threaded male connector from the inside of the bcd broke. Looks like the flange part that is welded inside completely fell apart.

My question is do the sell the replacement male connector and how does one put it in?

Seen so many of them fail.. They all seem to fail, even without much use. I've thrown away a lot of them.

You need to check them before use by trying to break them with your fingers (using a modest amount of force), at the minimum.
