Octo Inflator Sizing question

[kyfriedchipper]

I am looking to add an Octo Inflator to my rig

I have a BCD that its corrugated hose is 1" outside diameter and accomodates/has 1" boot

Do most octo-inflators accomodate this sizing? Or are there only specific brands that I can buy to accomodate the hard inflator elbow on my current BCD?

Also looking for one for my wife - she dives a Zena Zeagle - same dimensions or different?

Reccomendations?

Thanks

I believe the only oddball dimension on the corrugated hose is Oceanic. I'm pretty sure all the rest are 1" so you any octo/inflator except Oceanic (if they make one) will fit.

I on the other hand would say Everyone But Oceanic has an Oddball size (if Oceanic isnt 1") LOL

Aeris Caribe does not fit my Tusa Air II. FYI

the zeagle octo z should definitely fit the wife's zena

I would call a lds or ST to find out if there are any that won't fit your bc.

I have an Oceanic jacket BCD that does have an odd size, as suggested above it is a 3/4" size for the Oceanic jacket that I have. It threw a wrench in the works for me when the inflator stuck open once and I stopped at the LDS where I was diving. They could not help me with a replacement.

I can't speak for the other octo-inflators, however, the Atomic SS1 comes with three standard connectors (ostensibly to fit the most common corrugated sizes).

Once the connector is zip-tied to the hose, the SS1 screws in and out of the connector (which makes removing it from the BC a pleasure, especially while traveling).
