Main reason I use it is if I am running trimix from an off board tank with air in my on board for inflation. In this case you dont want the ADV feeding air into your mix and messing it up.

Other reason is it makes emptying the lungs at 6m easier when you want to do an O2 flush.

This stuff you will most likely come across more when you do the trimix ccr course.
