9.5 Use of Quick Disconnect
A Quick Disconnect can be used with all bail-out
systems. It provides greater convenience on deck
while dressing the diver. It also makes it possible
to separate the attachment of the bail-out from the
helmet should the diver become entangled under-
water. All quick disconnects used must be of good
quality and be capable of supplying gas without any
additional flow restriction. All quick disconnects
used in countries that adhere to CE standards must
be CE approved.
A quick disconnect hose may be installed in any low
pressure port of the diver's bailout regulator. The
connector splits the hose into two halves, with a male
connector on one end and a female connector on the
other. The female connector should be equipped with
a sleeve lock that must be properly aligned before
the hose can be disengaged.
One end of the hose with the connector attaches to
the emergency valve assembly, while the other end
of the hose with its mating connector attaches to any
of the standard low pressure ports on the KMDSI
SuperFlow first stage regulator (or any high perfor-
®
mance regulator) used for the bail-out supply.
