OMS wing thoughts?

[Centrals]

Thanks. Pulled the trigger. I have never used a pull dump in all my years diving, and wouldn't start now. Is the replacement needed or can I just use the inflator hose like always?

Of course you can use the power inflator to dump gas.
It is only an option. The plain elbow is not that expensive.
Your decision.

We are often asked if our generic or 'brand X' parts are compatible with 'brand Y'. With a few exceptions, our answer has to be 'we don't know' if we are not an authorized dealer for your brand. There is very little standardization of molded parts within the recreational diving market and NO...

Thanks for the link. I'm just wondering if there is some inherent safety or reliability issue with the pull dump version itself that would cause someone to change. If it works exactly the same I do not see why someone would, even at $11 (or $22 in my case)

Thread 'remote exhaust, or a plain elbow ?'

Jun 3, 2020

Just wondering what the consensus is on BC's/wings that offer the option of a plain elbow, or a ("pull-to-dump") remote exhaust ? Love 'em ? Hate 'em? Unnecessary junk? Potential weak link?
My interest is primarily in a wing system, and for tech/cave applications. (And to head-off the most obvious response, yes, I'm aware that with the pull/dump system there's a risk of pulling something apart by overzealous yanking of the inflator, but let's assume we're talking about people that know how to dive .)
Thanks.....
