Hi,

Swapping to a long hose setup and looking to see about using my Z3 on a single tank long hose setup. Unfortunately, I did not foresee the comfort swivel fitting being such a weird size. Pic attached. Why the proprietary fitting? ? Do I have any options? I was thinking maybe either:

a) find some kind of adapter for the inlet fitting in the second stage?
B) Sell the whole 2nd stage and or first stage and get a new one with a standard fitting. I’d probably go with either dive rite or SP so I could cut down to 2 different brands of regulator for ease of service.
 
I did exactly what you did. I removed the comfo swivel and just looked at the results and said "****, now what". I had to do the jam nut thing with my ST1 and my M1...
 
That is the right part kit number
 
Got this in over the weekend. Somethings not right. This has to be the wrong nut right? https://imgur.com/a/pwJSIqr
That the right nut. Put that over the spindle on the regulator and it takes up the extra threads of the Swivel connection. Now you can attach a standard hose or an angled connector.
