- I recently installed the UTD Z-System Isolatable Manifold and this is my opinion why I like this system versus a conventional sidemount setup.

Hi there,
what u use to connect Tanks with the manifold?
The manifold got same connections live first stages?
You Use QC6 quick connectors to connect your tanks to your manifold.
Hello thank You for the video. Would you recommend the system for single sidemount?
Hi Francis, YES! I recently purchased the full Z System and will do another video on the setup. I love this BCD. Its perfect for double sidemount and single tank sidemount. What makes this system amazing is that whatever i chose, doubles or a single, i am still on a long hose.
@@cadiveguy Thank You! I also have the Hollis SMS 75. What is it he full Z system?
Why is your video mirrored
Oversight on my part and a lesson learned for shooting in the future.
yeah agree... it as really off-putting
Is it possible to also just leave the valves open and breath from both tanks simultaneously?
You could but at some point the system draws more from one side than the other and the tanks dont empty evenly. I dont understand the physics of it but that is what happens if you just keep both tanks open.
@@cadiveguy Thank you for the quick reply! Do you still use this system and do you think it would make it possible to use a full face mask with sidemount? (double)
@@Anomalous-Plant no, i no longer use the Z/system. I have gone back the the independent sidemount standard system because that is how my bailout system works for my Kiss Sidewinder rebreather setup.
Yes I do think you can setup this system with a full facemask but you will need some sort of y adapter and a backup regulator in case your FFM floods for any reason.
@@Anomalous-Plant HI, no I dont use the Z System anymore. I went back to the traditional independent sidemount setup since this is how my Kiss Sidewinder rebreather is setup for my bailout system. I think you can add a y adapter to attach a FFM but you will have to add some sort of backup in case you have a failure with your FFM.
What length QD hoses did you use?
13 inches
