UTD sidemount regs

[nldiver1984]

I'm looking for a pair of sidemount regs and was presented with UTD regs + service kits for $500 US. I heard they are great regs for servicing yourself. Attached a pic.

How would these compare to HOG classics with D3 first stages?

 

[runsongas]

probably pretty similar, although the first stages look to be a copy of the older revision of the mk25. might be made by aquatec.

the HOGs don't even come close!

Yup, standard version of the SP mk25 (great reg) and similar second as the HOG classic......a very good reg set.

So this is a good deal?

Yes!

These are piston regs while hogs are diaphragm

regs made by Aquatec as mentioned above. Unsealed pistons so make sure you rinse them REALLY well while they're still wet if diving in the salty stuff and be careful in the cold stuff, same as you would any other piston.
No issues with them though but on the self-service, you're likely on your own as far as a service manual

UTD offers a service tech course for their regs, Part 1 is online only and has video material for servicing, manuals etc etc. Part 2 is IF you need a Service Tech certification and is done in person with an instructor, stripping and servicing regs.
