Sherwood/Oceanic/Aeris/Scubapro/Uwatec QDC (Quick Disconnect Coupler) Tool Kit

Sherwood/Oceanic/Aeris/Uwatec QDC Connector Tool Kit This tool kit is designed to aid the service technician in the disassembly/assembly of the Uwatec air computer QDC (Quick Disconnect Coupler). The hex brass driver is fitted with two stainless steel drive pins that index with the recessed holes in the QDC swivel body. This tool holds the swivel assembly in place while the hose is removed (see first illustration). The Aladin QDC has two o'rings that seal to the computer module. The rear (bottom) o'ring can be easily installed and presents no special problems. The front (top) o'ring is more difficult to install. This o'ring is located in a recessed groove in the swivel housing. The tool kit includes a Guide Bushing and O'ring Stop Tool designed to simplify this installation process. Insert the O'ring Stop Tool in the hose end of the coupler. Insert the o'ring in the small end of the bushing and slide the bushing into the swivel end of the coupler. Using the QDC stem as a plunger, tamp down gently on the o'ring (see second illustration). The stop tool prevents the o'ring from passing through the center hole. The o'ring will turn sideways when it hits the stop tool and slide into the groove easily. The Aladin QDC Tool Kit is shipped with complete instructions for tool use.
