MSR Bladder

[TigerDiver8]

Does anyone have any photos or videos on how to convert this bladder to accept an inflator hose. I am adding a 6L bladder to my Hollis Katana and cannot figure out how I should do this. The threads on the MSR bag is too large for an inflator.to attach.

can be done with the right flanges, but you're probably better off just buying the one with the flanges on them already

Someone had already shown that to me but I already own an msr. but i think you guys are right for 70.00 it will much easier.

Two ways.

One proper way which includes a video tutorial from youtube even. Buy flanges from eBay or your favorite LDS punch the appropriate hole, install the flange solidly. Common for counter lungs in the DIY rebreather community. Solid and easy.

Rough and ready way. Cannibalize an old bcd by cutting a palm sized chunk including the inflator threaded flange. Rough it up good and goop adhesive it to a hole cut in the MRS bag. Maintenance free after a few hundred hours bottom time and isn't deteriorating yet.

Or buy the prefab.

you're also very close to Deep Sea Supply who is up in Pasadena. Tobin may be willing to sell you the flanges and help you punch it
