Source Tactical Universal Tube Adapter (UTA) – On-the-Go Hydration Refills, Olive

Refill on the move without removing your pack

The Source Tactical Universal Tube Adapter (UTA) is a compact, robust solution that lets you refill your hydration reservoir without taking off your pack. Built for endurance, it integrates with Source Quick Mate Technology (QMT) systems and tucks neatly into a MOLLE-ready pouch.

Fast, flexible refills from bottles and taps

When you’re moments from a sip, the UTA shines. From a common 1.5L bottle, it delivers a refill in about 50 seconds. If you’re near a tap, you can push 2 liters in 45 seconds, or reach 3 liters in about 65 seconds with steady, controlled flow. The adapter expands as the reservoir approaches capacity and automatically disconnects if overfilled, helping prevent spills.

• Filling from a bottle: compatible with a range of bottle sizes and shapes.
• Filling from taps: designed to fit indoor and outdoor taps and faucets.
• Expansion and auto-disconnect: signals when the pack is full and stops at the right moment.

Crafted from durable TPE polypropylene, the UTA is built to withstand field use. It’s compatible with all Source QMT systems, ensuring you can mix and match hydration components across your kit. The optional UTA pouch with MOLLE attachment keeps the adapter clean, organized, and within reach, so you can refuel without rummaging through gear.

Thoughtful design, practical implications

With the UTA, you gain a hands-free refill workflow that suits hiking, cycling, or training scenarios. The ability to refill from a bottle or a faucet gives you options in urban environments, campsites, or training grounds. Real-world use cases include topping off after a sprint, refilling during a long march, or sharing a bottle with a teammate without exposing your pack to contamination.

• Cleanliness and accessibility: the pouch keeps the adapter protected and handy.
• Broad compatibility: supports Source QMT while accommodating various bottle designs.
• Durability in the field: designed to endure challenging conditions and temperatures.

Note: The UTA is designed to enhance your hydration workflow. It offers a practical option to stay hydrated with benefits that are possible outcomes of regular use, not guaranteed results.
