2nd stage convert to octopus?

blancosito · Jun 5, 2006

Okay i have a question, it might sound stupid, but can you convert a normal second stage into an octopus. it seems to me all you have to do is retune it so it wont freeflow. is this correct? i just bought a oz titanium and am considering making it an octopus on my mk17/s600 setup. thanks

An octopus is just a second 2nd stage. Usally it is detuned to avoid freeflow and brightly coloured for hi vis. If your OZ titanium has an adjustable cracking pressure or you dont have any freeflow problems with it then connect it up and call it an octi.

yeah, exactly

an octopus is just a backup second stage

it really helps to have a longer hose,

Yup, longer brightly colored hose and have it de-tuned and hook it up! I've done it a few times.

Or a short one with a bungee

Longer hose, yellow hose, and maybe some paint for the outside of the reg.

and if you dont have spray paint, just write "OCTO" with a sharpy!
