Constructed from durable TPE polypropylene, it features a smart expansion design that indicates when your hydration pack is full, ensuring you stay refreshed during your adventures. ## Description The Universal Tube Adapter (UTA) from Source Tactical enables you to refill your hydration system without opening your backpack or even taking it off your back. It comes on its own or with a custom pouch for UTA that's equipped with MOLLE attachment system, which enables you to easily mount it to a vest or ruck sack. The pouch keeps the UTA clean and accessible, as well as prevents it from getting lost. You can connect the UTA water tap and fill your reservoir directly from the faucet. You can also plug a water bottle's threaded nozzle into the UTA and let the water flow from the bottle to the reservoir. The UTA expands when a reservoir is full and automatically disconnects if the reservoir is accidentally overfilled.

Tested in the most extreme conditions, hundreds of thousands of Source hydration systems are in use in the field.Features:Filling from a bottle - fits a variety of water bottles.Filling Time from a 1.5L bottle: 50 sec.Filling from a tap – Designed to fit a wide range of indoor and outdoor taps.Filling time from tap - 2L in 45 sec, 3L in 1.05 sec.UTA will begin to expand when reservoir is filled and will automatically disconnect if reservoir is accidentally overfilled.UTA is compatible with all of Source QMT (Quick Mate Technology) systems. ## Features - Universal Tube Adapter - Fast hydration refills through the drinking tube without the need to remove systems from the user's back - Fits a variety of water bottles and indoor/outdoor taps and faucets - While filling the adapter expands slowly until it reaches its full length, which signals that the hydration pack is at its full capacity. - Constructed of TPE polypropylene - Filling time from a Tap: 2L in 45 sec, 3L in 65 sec - Filling Time from a Bottle: 50 sec for 1.5L bottle ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005QI8M5Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #90,283 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #233 in Hydration Packs | | Brand Name | Source | | Capacity | 1.5 Liters | | Color | Olive green | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 715 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00616223001559 | | Included Components | Hydration Accessory | | Item Type Name | Hydration Accessory | | Manufacturer | Source | | Material Type | Polypropylene | | Number Of Pockets | 1 | | Pocket Description | Utility Pocket | | Sport Type | Snowshoeing | | Strap Type | Webbing | | Tank Volume | 1.5 Liters | | UPC | 616223001559 | | Warranty Description | manufacturer | ## Images ![Source Tactical Universal Tube Adapter for Hydration Systems - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MWqvxifZL.jpg) ![Source Tactical Universal Tube Adapter for Hydration Systems - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81da1younzL.jpg) ![Source Tactical Universal Tube Adapter for Hydration Systems - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91vMDG+OabL.jpg) ![Source Tactical Universal Tube Adapter for Hydration Systems - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81a93WKmDYL.jpg) ![Source Tactical Universal Tube Adapter for Hydration Systems - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Dzd5Xg-FL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome accessory for your source bladders *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2023* This makes feeling your source bladder easy while on the move without having to remove your bag off your back. Use a variety of bottled water to fill your bladder ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ works for bottled water Camelbak bladders. *by S***3 on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2022* At first I was pretty skeptical of this product, but seeing that I use Camelbak bladders a lot (for camping and hiking), I figured I'd give it a try. At first it was a little tricky to get a water bottle on/in it correctly but it does work pretty well as long as you hold the bottle well over the top of the bladder you're filling. I've used it on a 1.5 liter, 2 liter, and 3 liter bladder and it fills them no problem. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ridiculously Overpriced. But Ultimately, A Necessary Accessory *by X***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2021* I really, really like this item. But the cost (almost $20) is a bit excessive.Having said that, Source makes good stuff. So good that it's hard to complain about price too loudly! So good that the company deserves to make whatever profit they can.So why am I complaining about price? Because knock-offs are sure to come and I would like to keep supporting Source; given that most of us have limited resources there may come a time when I can't afford Source and have to go elsewhere.In any event, really nice; really easy to use. Wish Source offered a decent carry case (I wound up using a Condor faux grenade case (which was okay) and another type of case (which was equally only okay)).Great accessory in the hydration department. Just wish it came in at under $15 (at $20 three of these cost me $60! Tell me that's not a bit absurd).5 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/533161721-source-tactical-universal-tube-adapter-for-hydration-systems](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/533161721-source-tactical-universal-tube-adapter-for-hydration-systems) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
