The F 9/16" DIR STORE Flow Switch (Shut-Off Valve) is a mechanical safety and control device designed to be interposed directly between the low-pressure (LP) hose and the second stage of the regulator.
With a simple sliding movement, it allows for isolating and delivering or instantly interrupting airflow. It is an indispensable tool for managing free-flow situations caused by freezing or malfunction of the second stage, preventing the sudden and exhaustive emptying of the cylinder.
Main Features:
-
Specific Female 9/16" Connection: Features the standard 9/16"-18 UNF female thread, designed for a direct and secure connection to low-pressure regulator hoses.
-
Quick-Activating Sliding Mechanism: Operated by sliding the collar (push/pull), allowing for blocking or restoring flow in a fraction of a second, even when wearing thick or dry gloves.
-
Anti-Flooding Safety and Gas Control: Ideal for technical diving, with Rebreather (CCR) systems, stage bottles, or backup regulators to prevent accidental gas wastage.
-
Robust and Compact Design: Made of chrome-plated marine brass to resist the corrosive action of saltwater and ensure maximum reliability under pressure.
-
Universal Compatibility: Fits all standard second stages and LP hoses on the market.
Safety and Maintenance Advice: The switch must be checked before diving to ensure it is set to the OPEN flow position. After each ocean dive, rinse thoroughly with fresh water in both states (open and closed) to remove salt deposits and maintain smooth sliding.
