Got a new Zeagle Ranger ltd. This Zeagle Ranger has a nice feature I wasn't expecting, the garden hose hook up for cleaning it out. My dilema now is I don't want to give that up! but I was planning on swapping out the new inflator hose with my old Tusa Octo/Inflator. Since this nice feature for washing out the bc is incorporated in the new zeagle inflator hose, I was wondering if Zeagle or someone has an adapter that I could fasten onto the barb of my old Tusa octo head which would then screw right into the new garden hose adapter part on the remaining zeagle inflator hose? I probably could rig one up from hardware store parts, but why reinvent the wheel if one's out there already.:headscratch:
Has anyone experience with rigging this zeagle hose with a tusa octo head? or know of any suggestions?
 
There is not an adaptor (or if there is I would be really surprised). The only option you have is to buy the Octo Z and just unscrew the Bx inflator and screw in the Octo Z or you can just cut the zip tie and pull off the coupling and install you Tusa Octo Inflator (assuming Tusa uses the same diameter width as Zeagle, otherwise you might have to find some type of reducer).

Thanks, but my goal is to use my Tusa w/o the purchase of an OctoZ. Also I want to keep the hose cleaning feature, so I don't want to cut off the zeagle coupler, although I believe the Tusa would fit if I did so.
 
If you use the pull dump, you won't easily be able to rig it.

Both the New Zeagle inflator reg and the Atomic inflator reg have the screw on feature.
 
So far the plan seems to be to detach pull dump from tusa (after pulling off inflater hose), get a male garden hose w/ 1" barb on it, a short piece of 1" ID rubber tube to connect fitting to tusa octo. then just screw it into zeagle corregated hose, which has pull dump on windward side of garden hose fitting. Unless something better comes up.
