I have a full face mask but sometimes need to switch back to using the old mask and regulator. Rather than constantly switching the entire hose, I installed this on my regulator and can switch easily

This makes switching between 2nd stages a breeze and the lockdown ring gives me full confidence that I won't accidently disconnect underwater.

This is needed if you want to add additional 2nd stage regulators.

We dive with the quick connects on all our 2nd stage regs. Besides allowing you to switch out regs or pop them off for travel, if there's a reg that fails while out, the swap is fast and doesn't ruin a dive.

If you have different second stage regulators for different rig configurations and they are not always attached to your low-pressure hose, you might want to install a quick-disconnect (QD) fitting so you won't need to use a wrench. When you swap out second stage regulators and are changing them out with a wrench any repair technician can tell you if it is not done correctly you can de-tune your regulator and not even know it! The second stage regulators critical valve seat usually seals against the second stage Inlet fitting. This fitting can be accidentally turned if you do not first place the appropriate wrench on its wrench flats before turning the hose fitting with another wrench. Failure to use two wrenches when removing a hose can drastically change the valves opening effort, rendering the second stage useless for safe diving.
XS Scuba's Second Stage Hose QD (SKU: XSSSSQD) can eliminate this problem. The complete QD is required for one set up, but if you have multiple second stages you will need one female coupling connected to your hose and multiple male fittings for each of your additional second stages, so you can plug them into your hose female coupling. This male QD fitting allows attachment of another second stage regulator to a single hose. Male QD is manufactured from durable chrome plated brass for low maintenance and long life. Coupling is factory cleaned and has Viton O-rings. Coupling is designed for low pressure only below 200 psi (13.8 bars).
