BOV ‐ BAILOUT VALVE
The BOV, or rebreather mouthpiece, is a key component on the KISS OS diving system. Should divers choose to source
their own BOV, it is extremely important that they choose a product from a reputable company and that it comes fi ed
with a bailout 2nd stage regulator. The integrated 2nd stage regulator is a key safety component for the diver.
Should the dealer or diver choose not to use a bailout type rebreather mouthpiece, the warranty on that diving system
will be revoked. We can’t stress enough the importance of this feature.
Required Parts:
The KISS OS BASIC will ship with the loop hoses, as well as the parts to a ach these hoses to the scrubber head’s. The
customer will need to purchase a BOV & parts with which to secure the mouthpiece to these hoses.
It is important that when choosing a method to secure the loop hoses to the BOV, that the BOV can be removed easily.
This is important as the BOV mushroom valves (valve disks) must be inspected prior to every dive.
LOOP HOSE BALLAST RINGS
The ballast rings may seem like an insignificant part of the rebreather but in reality they are an important part of the
diving system. Having either too much or too li le weight on the loop hoses will cause much discomfort and stress to
divers.
When the ballast is supplied by KISS Rebreathers, 8 rings, 4 per side, are used. The total weight of our ballast rings are
1.04lb; or .13lb each. This is important informa on as other SS rings on the market, while looking very similar, are ac‐
tually a lighter weight. If you choose to use these rings, ensure that you know what the total weight will be and that
you purchase enough of them.
There are also other ballast systems on the market. Again, be certain that you know what the total weight of those
systems will be.
Good features to watch for in a ballast system is the ability to move the weight up or down the hoses, while underwa‐
ter. This is why SS rings work so well; they are easily moved during the dive. It is important to be able to move them
during the dive as this is the only me the diver will truly know if the weight is properly posi oned. Moving the rings
up or down slightly can make a difference in the comfort of the diver.
OXYGEN FIRST STAGE REGULATOR
The oxygen first stage regulator is located on the bo om of the rebreather and is secured to the on board cylinder.
Dealers and divers that choose to use their own first stages must choose a first stage from the approved list below.
Prior to final assembly of the rebreather the oxygen first stage must be modified. The top ring of the first stage must
be removed, the environmental plug and seal removed and the KISS delrin plug with O‐ring inserted. To do this:

Loosen the top ring of the first stage.

Tip the first stage over and the environmental plug will fall out.

The top ring has a seal inserted into it; use your fingers to push it out and remove it.

Lubricate the O‐ring with oxygen compa ble grease, and ensure it is secured to the delrin plug.
