Question Sidewinder dual MAV question

[chris_duc]

Hi,

I have the standard 2 button MAV and i'd like to add an elbow for the left dil, the connector is a normal low flow QC. I have tried to look on divegearexpress, but I don't find an elbow that seems to fit and create an elbow for that QC.
Anybody that has installed that on theirs, could point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
Christophe.

It's the same thread as an HP port, so just buy an HP 90.

you sure? They're usually the LP port plug thread size, I've never seen a MAV with HP port threads

LP and HP ports on first stage regulators use standard SAE J1926 straight thread boss connections so you might be able to find some HP fittings from Parker or Swagelok that can work.

The problem with elbows on straight thread bosses is a jam-nut is required or you can't set the desired angle:

Mine is, I had to overnight one to High Springs during my air dil class because nobody in town stocked them.

Indeed, tested and it is an HP port threading. Thanks!

Finally received the part and it worked flawlessly

Is that a male QC6? Is there a female connected on there somewhere?
