Low Pressure Hose and Quick Disconnect
High-pressure port
FIGURE 2: FIRST STAGE AND HOSE
The low-pressure hose with quick disconnect fitting installs into one of the low-pressure
ports of your first stage regulator. It is compatible with any conventional first stage
operating with an intermediate pressure of 125-145 psi.
Your regulator first stage will normally have multiple low-pressure (LP) ports for the
attachment of second stages and inflators (usually thread size 3/8-24), and one or more
high pressure (HP) ports for the attachment of pressure gauges and dive computers

Low-pressure ports
(usually a larger thread size 7/16-20). Choose the low-pressure port that gives you the
best orientation for your particular BCD set-up. The LP hose and quick disconnect is
usually routed over the left shoulder where it follows the corrugated hose of your BCD.
The LP port plug is removed by unscrewing with a 5/32 (4mm) hex wrench. Install
the LP hose with quick disconnect into the port of choice and snug up with a wrench.
Do not over tighten as this will not improve the seal and may damage the threads.
Assemble SS1 adapter to
BCD corrugated hose
Your SS1 was shipped with a set of hose adapters.
Small hose adapter
One of these adapters will be the proper size for
your particular BCD hose. The most common is
Sleeve the 1" inside diameter hose, found on nearly all
of the BCD' s used today. Once selected, the
Medium hose adapter
appropriate adapter will be installed to the BCD
corrugated hose and clamped on place. The
SS1 can then be threaded onto the adapter. The
SS1 can be removed from the BCD by simply
unscrewing the adapter. This feature allows

you to remove the SS1 for transport with your
primary regulator or use on a second BCD (Fig 3).
