If you dive the Atomic Aquatics SS1, not having the use of your buoyancy compensator/alternate air source is an unsafe way to dive, but carrying a spare inflator hose will ensure you will not need to abort a dive due to an equipment malfunction. Hose has standard 3/8" male threaded end to install in the first stage regulator LP port, and a quick-disconnect coupler on the opposite end to attach to the Atomic Aquatics SS1 BCD inflator/alternate air source mechanisms. Both metal fittings are constructed from marine grade stainless steel for long life and durability. This double breaded neoprene jacketed hose has a working pressure of 300 psi (20 7 bars) and is 26" (66mm) in length.
