How to configure your first and second stage on your DIR regulator system for a twinset.

This is the second part of the 3 video series on how to set up your DIR twinset.

I am giving twinset diving a go, and you cannot believe how useful you videos have been, thank you, keep it up!

Thank you very much from France ! I am instructor usually diving with regular configuration (2 first stage but with octopus etc), but as I am intending to go for tek instructor course, I switched back to twinset and purchased a set at Tecline
Your video helped me a lot !

[wallacesify]

Thanks for a great video, love how you explain everything so clearly. Just staring out on the twinset route, more for the redundancy aspects than going down the Tec route (yet!) and all your vids have expained the 'dark art' really clearly so thanks.

[davidmillar]

Thanks. Crisp, easy to follow. Liked the tips.

[roelandvanderee]

Great video, I always like the way you explain things in a very clear and understandable manner. Keep them good videos coming, they are much appreciated

[td]

Thanks for your videos and explanation. Especially if you have this absolute nice diving site in the back ground :)

I actually disconnected my LP inflator exactly the way you showed in the video...

[harambeexpress]

If you take the LP plugs out and look inside the first stage you will see that they're all just ports into the same chamber. We also know that gas pressure within a closed system is constant throughout the system . I really don't think it will make any difference if high pressure breaks into the low pressure system - it's going to put the same pressure on all the ports evenly. The initial direction of the gas particles isn't going to matter - and they would lose their velocity as they bouce off the walls of the hose anyway so really total pressure of the system is the only thing that actually matters.

Thanks for the video, very informative… And after the videoing, you have to pick up again that hose protector 😅

[mustanggun]

At the end when you talked about when we dump gas, I had my left loop catch on the inflator hose device and pop off. It can happen, not fun.

[bloodymarvelous]

Interesting that you put the long hose on the fifth port.

This is my configuration:
Right post:
Long hose on a right LP port.
BCD inflator hose on the fifth port.
Transmitter on the right HP port.

Left post:
Short hose on the fifth port.
Drysuit inflator hose on a left LP port.
SPG on the left HP port.

Great video and very helpful. Will you be doing sidemount next?

[saifmohamedalshehhi]

Thank you for a good video and explanation

One of the most important parts of this video begins at 6:50 👍🏽

[eddieadie]

I'm quite new to twinset diving, so very interested to see your setup; especially the right post. I've never seen anyone else with that setup, are you a 'trailblazer', or is this quite common? I'll certainly give it a go, but fully expect to get a few comments from more experienced divers

I have disassembled a MK25 turret and didn't notice anything different with the ports. The MK17 configures better on doubles. How would you configure the MK25 if you use double-bladder wings? The MK25 is perfect for sidemount and singles.

[jhthrane]

I like your videos thx👍 which wing will you recommend for 2x12? What du you think about OMS wing with bungee cord?

[justinloos]

Hi, what’s the reason you choose a piston over a diaphragm?

[hummaid]

In case iam using wetsuit, Is it same configuration?

[agarcia]

Hi Ben! First of all, thank you for this helpful video and, in general, for all the videos offered in the UTD youtube channel
I have a question about the O2 compatible lube. Is it really necessary to be O2 compatible or it would be enough with a "normal" lube? I mean, I understand that the twinset is oriented to bottom gas, and the percentage of O2 in this gas will be probably under 50%.
What would be the advantage of using 02 compatible lube?
