Kevin,

Some drysuit inflators (such as the Apex) use a large bore bayonet fitting that
is not compatible with a standard BCD hose. This fitting has the same thread as
a standard BCD bayonet fitting so I just unscrewed mine and replaced it with a
standard fitting (the large bore bayonet was put to good use in a P Valve)

"Is there a situation which i will need to switch inflator hoses ?"
I would say that it's a good idea to have a hose fitting that is compatible
with both the BCD and drysuit inflator as you can use one hose for two
functions should the need arise.
