Hose Attachment
Apeks recommends that you take your regulator to your authorised
dealer for the installation of any accessory items, including
instrumentation, medium pressure (MP) quick disconnect hoses, and
alternative air source second stages. Your dealer can also answer
any questions you may have pertaining to the information in this
manual. If it is not possible to return your regulator and accessories
to your Apeks / Aqualung Authorised Dealer, you may install the
accessories yourself carefully performing the steps in the following
procedure.
Regulator Owner’s Manual
............................................................................................
It is always recommended that your dealer assembles your
regulator with all your ancillary requirements. As this is not
always possible please follow the following steps, to ensure
correct fitment of the flight second stage. Your Apeks Flight
regulator should be supplied with a lightweight hose fitted with
the Tool Free Connection. If this is not the case, for example;
when using Flight alternative air sources or Flight octopus
second stages please follow the following steps:
(1) Firstly ensure the hose nut is able to
rotate freely without turning the hose.
Visually check the thread on the second
stage inlet, removing any particles
or debris. Do not use any grease or
lubricants as the composite material
does not require it.
(2) Screw the
hose nut on to
the inlet fitting
until it stops,
ensuring the
threads do not
cross.
