Question for HP quick disconnnect owners...

[Scubaroo]

1. Has anyone ever had one of these fail or leak?
2. How much length do they add to a HP hose?

Reason I'm asking is that I'm about to be the owner of two different sets of regulators, and short of paying for a second transmitter (not likely!), I wish to be able to move my Vytec transmitter from regulator to regulator as needed (this is for singles and doubles diving). I would rather not risk cross-threading or damaging either the regulator or transmitter with repetitive unscrewing and tightening, so I was kicking around the idea of using a 2 x 6" HP hose with a quick disconnect on the transmitter, and I can just move the transmitter from hose to hose on each reg set depending on what I was diving. It would also help with hose routing on the doubles, as the transmitter hits the tank if mounted down in some routing configurations. Just *really* worried about unecessarily introducing a new failure point with the quick disconnection. And no I'm not going to stop using AI to get around the problem! ut:

Scubapro QD adds about 1.75 inches to total length. It screws in to a 1st stage HP port. I didn't know that both ends of HP hose were same size. I used mine for a couple years with no trouble but retired it when I realized how seldom I seperated the computer from the rig. About never.

I've never had a problem w/ any ScubaPro QD at all. One of my friends had a problem w/ one of his - but...he's cursed by ScubaPro so we don't count his problems anymore =)

Seriously though - I like them. I especially like being able to disconnect my computer and put it into it's own protective case.
