The Osprey Hydraulics Quick Connection Kit is a must-have upgrade for any Osprey Hydraulics water reservoir. Designed to install on any 1/4-inch (6.35mm) hose, this kit allows you to disconnect and reconnect your reservoir quickly without altering the position of the hose or reservoir in your pack. It also enables direct filtration into your reservoir, making backcountry water collection easier and safer.
Key Features and Benefits

All parts are BPA-free, ensuring clean water. The compact size (4L x 3W x 1H) weighs just a few ounces, adding negligible weight to your pack.
