Mya Stem Adapters


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, just got my new hookah, which is supposed to take 4 hoses. It came with some MYA stem adaptors, but I have no idea how to connect them.

Sorry for the ignorance, but I am new to this.

Does anyone have some images of these being connected or able to explain it to me.

Cheers

No problem man... just unscrew the little dime sized covers (if they came already screwed into the heart) and take the little metal funnel looking things, bang them on a table a few times to free up the metal ball bearing, then take the smaller side with the little rubber ring on it and screw it into the heart of the hookah.

Hope this helps!

For the 4th one, you unscrew the purge Valve. Since the adapters have autoseal you end up using the extra adaters as the purge valves. Personally i'd stick to 2 hoses, but that's just me.

ok...sorry to threadjack, but the OP might run into this problem eventually too.

i have my QT and replaced the purge valve with an adapter. but, now i want to put the purge valve back...so i remove the hose adapter and screw in my purge valve. but, when i got to uncap the purge valve to place a BB inside...the whole purge valve comes off instead. any tips on how to uncap the purge valve without removing the whole thing?

arcane: Pliers...

OP: I usually leave 1 hose without an auto-seal and hold onto it myself so that I can still purge if need be. If you aren't passing it around, it's not so bad to have one hose you need to cap when others draw.

hey Dr. B...can you elaborate on pliers? i'm afraid to grip around the threads in case i crush them...and i can't really grip around the cap and try to unscrew from the threads...no grip.
