Where do people go for parts?

[wetb4igetinthewater]

I hope I'm using the right terminology here, but the connection for the ADV housing at the inhalation T-Piece has gotten worn out on my Prism 2. It was always a problem when I got it (used), just gradually weakening over time. I've always hand tightened if anyone is wondering.

So where do people get parts for minor stuff like this? Particularly Prism2 divers.

Can you buy from the manufacturer? I just email my ccr manufacturer or my ccr instructor for parts.

Same. I contact KISS when i need a part. No problem.

Sure, I was just looking at if there were good online sources. I did get in contact with a dealer via the Hollis Prism 2 FB page and we'll chat Monday. I was just looking for different options that were more expedient as I want to get into the water ASAP.

I would think that is something Hollis could easily provide you. If not then Martin from Rebreather, Parts, Service, unique solutions is your best best for specialize custom fittings like that.

I can promise you that the OP does. The issue is with all Huish products, you can't just call them up and get parts. You have to go through dealers, the dealers have to be Prism 2 dealers not just any random Huish dealer and even then most of the dealers will probably tell you that they can't/won't sell you the parts you need and that you have to bring it in for service. Most other rebreather manufacturers are not like that, but it's a thing with that unit in particular.

People often question my disdain for Poseidon and Hollis units.
It isn't an issue of the unit, the Prism2 is a perfectly reliable unit that will do what you need.
But, if you buy dive a shop unit, you will deal with a dive shop. That isn't always ideal for me.
