Bypass valve

There are no worries with supply of gas through the LP inflator, seeing that the only gas needed, is to equalise the bag not constantly supply gas at depth. The attachment it a standard LPI.

Manual oxygen feed

The manual O2 feed was machined from a basic BC inflator. The fittings are standard 3/8th so can be used with any hoses. ALL hoses on the unit are made from off the shelf LPI inflator hoses so can be easily changed in the field.

So there you are. The “Widowmaker” Just a word to the wise. Rebuilding your own CCR takes a lot of reading around and don’t be fooled, these things can kill you. So if you are game, do your homework first or it will live up to its name!!!!! I now have a buddy Inspiration CCR and love every second on the unit; I still miss the widowmaker though!!!
