Need a single part - Hollis won't sell

[tbone1004]

I have in my hand, a "Zeagle 1st stage Service Kit #345-1000 Rev.3" that I bought from HUISH, or a HUISH dealer, in 2017.

I said AUP not Huish.... I don't recall Zeagle restricting parts kits, but it may have just been DGX not caring and selling them anyway

not regulator parts or parts kits.

You are in the US and not a dealer?
If so, then that makes two oddities or anomalies outside of usual experience and understanding - selling direct to the public, and selling kits to the public.

What is it with Hollis? I can buy service kits for all of my regs but not Hollis. Yep, I can get partial kits, but the most failure prone part is only available to "registered dealers".

You can purchase the o-rings and the seats for the second stage from a number of places.

If you have an old seat and diaphragm from the first stage you can try to match it up with a Trident aftermarket part. I know it is a PITA but once done you do not need to worry anymore.

@THE bottom of the 8 by 6 schematic, it says "NOTE: for latest revision refer to the Huish Outdoors Dealer Site". This is all I have. Curious about the explanation. I don't understand it.

@ams511 see my post above where I was talking about AUP, not Huish as a whole, though I do think that the new Zeagle regulators are restricted *f8 and what not vs. the Apeks ones*

I wrote the post before yours showed up. Did you mean Apeks or Atomic? They haven't sold an Apeks reg since 2000.

AMS...and all others...

You can all see quite clearly the the dog is chasing its' tail...

Parent companies...divisions bought/divisions not bought...who used to sell what...and to whom...

I've decided...eventhough I formerly supported a few of the hobbled brands bought by Huish...BARE...being one...that completely staying away from the whole lot...is the best policy...for me...

There are...after all...lots of alternatives...good alternatives...with operators willing to bend over backwards to provide dedicated customer support...

I'm pretty sure I bought the kit from Zeagle Express like always, but I may be slightly drifting into (quasi-temporary) mental illness.
