180° Swivel for BP Tube Regulator 2 Outlets 3/8 Viton

The SCUBATEC 180° Swivel is a high-precision technical component designed to optimize the routing of air hoses in advanced underwater configurations.

Placed between the low-pressure (BP/LP) hose and the second stage of the regulator, it allows for smooth 180° rotation, providing a more natural equipment position. It is particularly valued in DIR configurations and the Technical Diving sector, where hydrodynamics and comfort are priorities: its main function is to eliminate the mechanical tension of the hose "pulling" towards the mouth, drastically reducing jaw fatigue.

Technical and Construction Characteristics:

• High-Quality Material: Made of chrome-plated marine brass, chosen for its excellent resistance to salt corrosion and mechanical durability.
• 2-Outlet Design with 180° Rotation: Unlike 90° angled swivels, it allows for extension with free 180° axial rotation, offering maximum freedom of movement without creating sharp angles that could snag. It splits the line, providing you with 2 x 3/8" outlets.
• Viton O-ring Seals: Equipped as standard with Viton O-rings, a material that guarantees superior sealing even under thermal or chemical stress and is fully compatible with oxygen-enriched mixtures (Nitrox).

Standard Thread Compatibility: 

• Male: 3/8" UNF (for mounting on the first stage or the designated outlet).
• Female: 9/16" UNF / 3/8" UNF for connecting standard LP hoses.

Main Advantages:

• Ergonomic Comfort: Allows the regulator to move freely with the diver's head. It is the ideal solution for those using long hoses (210 cm) or Sidemount configurations.
• Reduced Jaw Fatigue: By eliminating the "lever" effect of the rigid hose, the regulator's mouthpiece remains stable in the mouth without needing to be gripped forcefully by the teeth.
• Optimized Routing: Facilitates hose routing under the armpit or around the neck, keeping the diver's profile clean and hydrodynamic, reducing the risk of entanglement.
• Technical Safety: The robust construction overseen by Scubatec ensures that the rotation mechanism remains fluid even under pressure, without gas leaks.

Maintenance Note: To preserve the fluidity of rotation and the integrity of the internal Viton O-rings, always rinse with fresh water after use in the sea and subject the device to periodic overhaul with the regulator set.
