Genuine Aqualung LP BCD Hoses

The Aqualung LP BCD Hoses  for i3 BCs and Standard BCs are very high-quality braided hoses that traditionally last 2-3 times longer than a standard low-pressure hose.

These LP BCD hoses have also been designed to make it as easy as possible to disconnect or connect the hose with thick gloves.

Attaching the MP Hose to the First Stage

Aqualung recommends that you bring your buoyancy compensator, together with your regulator, to your authorized dealer for the installation of the MP inflator hose and other accessories. If it is not possible to return the BC with your regulator to your authorized dealer, you may install the MP quick disconnect inflator hose by carefully performing the steps in the following procedure.

1. Remove the inflator hose from the power inflator body by gripping the grooved sleeve over the quick disconnect coupling with your thumb and forefinger, then slide the sleeve back.
2. Remove the port plug from a MP port on the regulator using an appropriately sized wrench.
3. Check to ensure the o-ring is present and in good condition. Screw the threaded end of the hose into the port and tighten to 40 in-lbs (4.5 Nm) with a 9/16” wrench.

WARNING: DO NOT connect the inflator hose to a high pressure (HP) port (greater than 200 psi / 14 bar). This may cause the hose to burst when

pressurized, which can result in serious injury. If you are unsure which regulator port is medium pressure (MP) or high pressure (HP), consult your

regulator owner’s manual or your dealer before attaching the hose.
