Source Universal Tube Adapter UTA – Hydration Bladder Refill Adapter, Olive

The patented Source Universal Tube Adapter (UTA) allows a compatible hydration bladder to be refilled directly through the drinking tube. There is no need to open or remove your backpack or tactical vest. The adapter connects to the tube using the QMT quick-connect system and enables the hydration bladder to be refilled from a water bottle or a suitable tap.

The flexible connection of the Source UTA refill adapter is designed to fit a wide range of standard bottle openings as well as various indoor and outdoor taps. This makes it possible to replenish your water supply while on the move without removing the hydration bladder from your backpack or vest.

During filling, the adapter's accordion section gradually expands. Once it reaches its full length, it indicates that the hydration bladder is full. In the event of accidental overfilling, the UTA hydration bladder adapter can disconnect automatically.

Weighing only 17 grams and featuring a compact design, the Source Universal Tube Adapter is ideal for outdoor activities, trekking, hiking, sports and tactical operations.
