Description:
Huish Outdoors has received reports of internal components within certain Hollis 200LX second stage regulators separating or fracturing before or after a dive.
Our investigation indicates that some units may exhibit reduced impact resistance, particularly if the second stage is dropped or struck on the adjustable inhalation knob. In these cases, damage to the inlet tube assembly could render the second stage non-functional.
While no incidents have been reported during an active dive, this condition could pose a drowning hazard if it were to occur in use. As a precaution, if you have a 200LX affected by this quality alert, stop use immediately. Separate the second stage(s) from the low-pressure hose included with the regulator set and return it to your local service location.
Hollis is currently producing a more durable inlet valve which will allow a retrofit component and resolve the mentioned issue. We expect these parts to be with our global service network within 4-6 weeks of this notice.
The replacement part necessary for this quality alert is an upgraded stainless steel inlet tube which replaces the original brass version. Below is the part number and description of a “LX Inlet Retrofit Kit” – PN 01.000313. This kit includes the following components:
- 5465 – Poppet Seat x 1
- 2.010 – O-ring x 1
- 5474 – O-ring x 2
- 9805 – Stainless Inlet Chamber x 1
- 2.016 – O-ring x 1
It is of the upmost importance that if you have a regulator affected by this quality alert, that you stop use and have the inlet valve replaced as soon as possible. It is recommended to destroy any of the inlet tubes found within the affected range.
While there have been no reported incidents of this occurring during use, we believe that the possibility exists which poses a drowning hazard. We recommend that dealers as well as end users take all necessary precautions when dealing with life support equipment.
Identifying Marks:
The following photos are for identification of the second stage portion of the assembly only. The first stages which are attached to the second stage by a low-pressure hose are not affected. The affected part numbers listed above may refer to the complete breathing regulator first and second stage assembly, or just the second stage.
How to Identify the 200LX second stage:
Top of the 200LX second stage housing will have a label which indicates the model: “200LX Hollis”. Important to also check the serial number listed under the mouthpiece to confirm whether it is within the affected range.
Remedy:
If you have in your possession a Hollis 200LX regulator affected by this recall, your regulator will be repaired at no cost. Please contact your local authorized Hollis dealer or return the regulator back to the place of purchase.
