Old Poseidon x stream regulator

[FellowDiver]

Hi Guys,
I want to upgrade the colour of my lp hose reg of the poseidon x stream. As its not a normal one, I have to buy an adaptor that fits the Xstream which I found.

Now as the original lp hose has an over pressure valve integrated in it, I know I have to buy an over pressure valve for my first stage reg (because its an old first stage which doesn't have the over pressure valve integrated).

My local tech shop asks me around USD 130.- for that but I can find it on this link for about 1/4 the price...
Is it the correct piece I have to buy ?

I use this $5.00 one...

Over-Pressure Relief Valve (User Adjustable)

if you read their comments, it is a throw away. I also have (linked in that discussion) these:

Highland Rebuildable & Adjustable OPV

YMMV

FD...

Dive Gear Express...OPV...user adjustable...$5.00
DGX...Poseidon Extreme/Jetstream hose adapter $14.00

DGX also has an OPV from Highland Millworks which is rebuildable...for $35.00...for a five dollar replacement why would you bother...keep a sealed spare in your tool kit...

DGX has everything you need for Poseidon regs at the best prices in the US...they've even started carrying Cyclon LP hoses which have a proprietary female nut fitting...in all the lengths...

Hope this helps...

also consider the omniswivel adapter. They have three for the Jetstream/Xstream that are a combo of the OPV and hose adapter. One is straight, the other has the ball swivel, and the third is a rigid 90* adapter. More expensive than the cheap adapter and separate OPV, but much nicer and the OPV tends not to look. I've never had luck with the port plug styles

Alright thanks guys, looks like im going for the standard USD 5.- one ! Hope it won't explode

@FellowDiver they don't explode, they tend to just start leaking slightly over time. Big problem with CCR divers
