swivel....

[rhwestfall]

Okay, my memory fails me - there was one that was in major disfavor, but in my searches, many more...

Which one(s) do you desire??????

IMO id stay away from the ones that the swivel part is held together with a screw like this one..... 360 Degree Swivel Scuba Diving 2nd Stage Octo Regulator | eBay with the movement of the swivel it can and will separate as its only held together with a small allen set screw....now one like this is good IMO... H IGH PRESSURE HOSE Swivel & Strain Eliminator SCUBA NEW | eBay because the swivel is held together by whats actually threaded into the first stage much less prone to seperate

Atomic Aquatics Regulator Essential Accessories

Universal Comfort Swivel Hose
One of the most popular innovations for the Atomic Aquatics regulators is now available to fit other regulator brands. The Universal Comfort Swivel will fit virtually any second stage on the market today. If your regulator uses a standard 9/16"-18 low pressure hose fitting as most do, the Universal Comfort Swivel simply replaces your existing hose assembly. Constructed of chrome plated brass and stainless steel.

If I were going to use a swivel, the Atomic is the only one I'd use. Of course that's just my opinion. They do make one that is considered "universal."

Swivel [SM swivel] - $25.00 : Cave Adventurers!, We will NOT be undersold!!!

Cave Adventurers offers two, this one and the more expensive OMS one. Edd dives this one, and has never had a failure. That's good enough for me.

I have them on all my hoses.

All my regs are Atomic.

My dubs and singles regs have 7' hoses, all with the Atomic swivel. They've made a significant difference in comfort on long dives, and when pressurized, the swivel "firms up" and stops being floppy; thus, they donate nicely.

I've never heard about one failing, and anyway, the o-ring count is the same as a standard 2nd stage swivel. <shrugs>

I spec'd the 7' long hose at the time I ordered the regs, so it came that way from the factory. IIRC it cost me an extra $70 or so.



All the best, James


PS - I know you're locked into ScubaPro...but...it's interesting to look into who designed the SP regs, like the G250 etc...
