I just installed my new Storm Regulator swivel .And I have a small question. When i screwed it on to my reg. it went on real easy .And didn't seam to have much resistance to come back off. I snugged it up with 2 wrenches . It seams to be holding . How snug should it be to be sure it will not unscrew while diving . would it be advisable to add a small drop of lock-tite (blue) to help keep it from coming loss at the wrong time and place .lol what has some of you done ??

I would def not use locktite. I've been thinking about switching out my old swivel with one of these so let me know how it works out. Just snugging it with a wrench should have done the trick. Just check it each time before you dive. Even if it's only screwed on finger tight as long as it's screwed all the way on it won't come off during a dive.
