@dmar836 The Type A9a Regulator is the correct one for attaching the A8b to the A4 bottle . I just had a look through the TO NO 03-50-1 . all the info you need is in that manual

funny you should mention that manual. guess who snagged an original copy of the April 25,1945 Army Air Forces issued Handbook of Instructions with Parts Catalog for the Type A-8B Oxygen Mask, TO # 03-50B-2? Me that's who! and Comes with October 24, 1945 revision!

[Carl]

Carl,
That drawing appears to show the plumbing for a fighter which could use the A-9a mounted in the panel. I had not noticed that regulator used with a walk around bottle until the pic Edward shared. So there are other variations based on mobility, etc. Still wondering about the extension hose from the 6022-A-13 regulator to the A-10/A-14, etc. masks.
