Most drysuit inflation valves used in recreational diving can accept a standard BC quick disconnect inflator hose, but need a longer length. For drysuit divers, where the hose routes under their arm to a chest mounted power-inflator, the typical length is {30 in | 76 cm} and sometimes a bit shorter or longer depending on the location of the power-inflator relative to the first stage. However, most drysuit divers prefer a quick disconnect fitting with a wide flange that makes it easier to get a positive lock with the inflation fitting.

The EZ-On Quick Disconnect Adapter assembled with our standard low-pressure braided flex hose works particularly well to produce an extremely flexible drysuit inflator hose solution. Just push on to attach to the inflation fitting, no need to pull back the collar. However, it still has a positive six-point locking mechanism that requires the collar to be pulled back to disconnect. The large collar makes it easy to remove even with heavy gloves and is a much better solution than the 'hose hat' add-ons for standard BC inflator hoses. The collar also has a 'flat' area that makes it work very well in tight areas such as next to drysuit inflator valves. This adapter offers a flow rate of approximately 260-280 LPM.

Dive Gear Express braided flex hoses are constructed with an inner lining of High Syntactic Polyvinyl Chloride. HS-PVC is a member of the TPE family of plastics. The inner lining is reinforced with an inner sheath of braided fiber and an outer jacket of braided filament. External double-braiding better resists the snags and abrasions encountered in diving. Double braided hoses are much more flexible, a third lighter, UV & kink resistant and stronger than rubber. Hose has a UNF 3/8-inch male fitting for standard 1st stage low-pressure port.
