I have a full face mask but sometimes need to switch back to using the old mask and regulator. Rather than constantly switching the entire hose, I installed this on my regulator and can switch easily
Simple and amazing

This makes switching between 2nd stages a breeze and the lockdown ring gives me full confidence that I won't accidently disconnect underwater.
If you have different second stage regulators for different rig configurations and they are not always attached to your low-pressure hose, you might want to install a quick-disconnect (QD) fitting so you won't need to use a wrench. When you swap out second stage regulators and are changing them out with a wrench any repair technician can tell you if it is not done correctly you can de-tune your regulator and not even know it! The second stage regulators critical valve seat usually seals against the second stage Inlet fitting. This fitting can be accidentally turned if you do not first place the appropriate wrench on its wrench flats before turning the hose fitting with another wrench. Failure to use two wrenches when removing a hose can drastically change the valves opening effort, rendering the second stage useless for safe diving.
XS Scuba's Second Stage Hose QD (SKU: XSSSSQD) can eliminate this problem. The complete QD is required for one set up, but if you have multiple second stages you will need one female coupling connected to your hose and multiple male fittings for each of your additional second stages, so you can plug them into your hose female coupling. This male QD fitting allows attachment of another second stage regulator to a single hose. Male QD is manufactured from durable chrome plated brass for low maintenance and long life. Coupling is factory cleaned and has Viton O-rings. Coupling is designed for low pressure only below 200 psi (13.8 bars).

Is this compatible with the Scubapro A700 second stage?
If not,is there another type of brand/product available at Leisurepro?

The OTS quick disconnect will work on the A700.

Will this work with the Miflex QD hoses or do I have to buy the female portion also and just use a normal hose? Thanks!
Roy B
these can't be used for the BC hose as they are larger. I use them on my Second stage to switch to and from full face rigs

We use this connection with microfelx hoses. But I wouldn't know about you QD that is already on there without seeing it.
KEVIN L
Jacob, I would recommend asking XS scuba as this is a life support component.
JAMES W
I'm unfamiliar with the Miflex QD. Best to ask them directly. Hopefully, they are easy to contact. Good luck.

I need fill my Lift Bag pillow. Can I connect XSSSSQD to the Carter Enclosed Pillow Lift Bag( (connects to 1/4" pipe thread) from regulator hose??
Thank you!
HV T
I don't think so, you will need a momentary valve to safely inflate the bag
Wolt D
Hi Again. Do you offer 1/4" connectors for this bag?
HV T
What kind of connectors? Like quick disconnect?
Wolt D
Yes. To attach Carter Enclosed Pillow Lift Bag( (connects to 1/4" pipe thread)
HV T
Oh, ok, after fully looking at the bag, as long as it has an inflator valve attached, you can connect the xs quick disconnect to it without a problem, however only if it has a valve on the bag to ensure you don't over inflate it

I have a Zeagle BCD and an Octopus+. The low pressure hose to the BCD is a standard with 3/8 connector, which is too small to fit on the male connector in the reg. Can this adapter link both, the standard female connector and the Zeagle male one?
DOMINIC F
The standad BCD low pressure hose female connector will be to small to connect to this male quick connect
