Question Primary hose adapter

[pointy]

I replaced my old Aqualung Glacia first stage with a Hog D1 first stage. I would like to connect the primary second from the Aqualung to the Hog first stage. Unfortunately, the old Aqualung primary second used a larger than standard fitting on the hose connecting to the first stage. I am hoping there is an adapter that would allow me to fit the Aqualung second stage hose to a standard (Hog) first stage.

The reason I want to do this is that the Aqualung hose includes heat diffusing features that make the Glacia second stage a good choice for cold water diving.

Is there such an adapter? If so, who sells it?

Do you think Hog's second stage is such an outstanding choice for cold water that I should just toss my old Glacia hose and second stage?

Is it really a 1/2" LP port on the first stage?

If so, 3/8" male to 1/2" female adapters do exist if you want to save the hose.

Examples:

First Stage Regulator Adapter 3/8M - 1/2F

First stage regulator adapter 3/8" x 24 to 1/2" x 20 Male thread end is a 3/8 Female thread end is a 1/2

I like the Apeks ones, super low profile but as with all things Apeks a bit spendy.

The one pictured is the more common 1/2" port to 3/8" hose. Do they also have a 3/8" port to 1/2" hose?

Comprehension fail

They do not.
