AP BOV Compatibility with Meg?

[Bil Lindstrom]

Does anyone have any experience using an AP BOV on a Meg? I'm pretty sure the flow on the AP is opposite the Meg, but can the AP BOV be reversed to match the Meg's flow? Also, is the AP BOV hose fittings diameter compatible with the standard Meg hoses?

Thanks!

I think..... You can't reverse the spiders on the AP BOV. And AP hoses are much narrower than Meg ones I believe (which are 47 ish mm I recall)

Yeah, i came to that conclusion earlier. Thanks though.

If you want to add a point of failure to the meg just for fun why don't you cut make a cut in an lung?

Bill, Odd question perhaps but why not use the ISC BOV? It likely has a lower WOB and is designed for it....

I posed the question out of curiosity, that's all. I know nothing about the AP BOV. I saw one for sale on another forum and wondered about it, no more than that.

Out of curiosity, how much was the used BOV going for?

I think it was $400.

A bit late to the game, but for future reference, the mushroom valves on the AP DSV/BOV are the same size, although one side is notched to prevent reversing the flow. A dremel would quickly solve that problem. Also, I thought hose diameters were the same? The AP hoses are 1.5".

I'm sure the meg ones are loads bigger, at least at the cuff where they go over the BOV/DSV.
