SOURCE UTA Universal Tube Adapter refill adapter (olive) - Source

UTA is a revolutionary solution for refilling the hydration system on the go.

UTA allows filling the bladder directly through the drinking tube, eliminating the need to remove the hydration bladder from the back, thus saving the soldier time and hassle.

The product concept was developed after a visit to allied troops deployed in Afghanistan. UTA was designed to fit a standard canteen or water bottle, but also to work with 500ml bottles used for field water supply.

UTA's small and lightweight flexibility allows it to adapt to a range of spout/neck sizes and standard-sized mineral water bottles. To prevent overfilling, UTA visually indicates when the reservoir is full and automatically disconnects to prevent damage caused by overfilling.

UTA is compatible with all Source hydration systems featuring QMT (Quick Mate Technology). Simply 'click' the drinking valve off the tube end and 'click' the UTA on.

Source also offers an Upgrade Kit that converts non-Source hydration reservoir systems for UTA use.
