I have a Gemini inflator I scavenged from an Aqualung BCD. My favorite BCD is a Cressi jacket style BCD. I would like to swap the standard Cressi inflator out with the Gemini, but due to different thread size's (Cressi is a coarse thread Aqualung fine thread) I can't just swap the inflator hoses at the dump valve. I likewise can't just swap the inflators themselves because the inflator hose diameters are different with the Cressi using the smaller hose (1/2 inch??) vs the Aqualung's larger (3/4 inch??) hose. I don't want to buy another inflator such as the Atomic (comes with adapters) and don't want to fabricate an adapter out of safety concerns and believe my best option would be to find a larger diameter inflator hose that uses the same threads as the Cressi and just put the Gemini on that. Does anyone know of an inflator hose that would work?......TY
