Content: When the first stage body is tightened onto a tank, it creates a water-tight seal to the tank valve. However, when the first stage body is disconnected from the tank, it is possible for water to enter the opening in the first stage, through which air passes from the tank to the regulator. The dust cap is a rubber cap that can be placed over the regulator first stage opening and tightened down using the regulator yoke screw. This seals closed the opening on the first stage. 5. Port/ Port Plug
Regulator first stage bodies have multiple openings, or ports, that regulator hoses can be screwed into. Usually, regulators have more ports than the standard number of hoses, which allows divers to position their hoses in a variety of configurations. These openings are called ports, and the plugs that close the regulator ports when they are not in use are called port plugs . 03

Primary Second Stage
Natalie L Gibb
The regulator second stage is the part of the scuba diving regulator that a diver actually breathes from. The function of the second stage is to reduce intermediate-pressure air traveling through a regulator hose to an ambient pressure (the pressure of the surrounding water) that a diver can breathe safely.
