Need HP hose to mount Perdix AI transmitter. Recommendations?

[tstormdiver]

In my case, my transmitters are installed on my rebreather diluent & Oxygen first stages. They are on 6" hoses, but tucked safely away with my other hoses & nestled next to my CO2 Scrubber canister, for protection.

In my opinion, I think the transmitter need to be secured otherwise it is just as vulnerable to damage. So while one can avoid damage from someone picking the tank up the wrong way, we don't want to solve one problem and create another one. I appreciate the pictures.

I don't know what the solution is to securing it. I know I don't want to create another problem.

It really isn't vulnerable. I have it on a 6" hose on my doubles and single tank setups and it doesn't bounce around at all.

@wetb4igetinthewate Understood. I am going to try it myself the next time I go diving (few weeks).
Thank you.

Yes, I also have my Perdix transmitter on one regulator on my doubles on a short hose (conventional SPG on the other regulator). It's tucked away, and secured with a cable tie so it is no entanglement or breakage risk.

What I'd really like though is a mini-SPG with in-built transmitter for my stage tanks. The Perdix only allows two transmitters for the moment (though I understand a firmware revision could increase that) but even if multiple transmitters were supported I wouldn't want them as separate danglers on my stage tanks. One dangler is already enough...

So Shearwater - please make some mini-SPGs with transmitters

Thank you all for the hose ideas. Ended up putting mine on a 4" hose and it works like a champ.

Taking my perdix AI on a five day cattle boat tomorrow without a hose. I hope it survives!!!!

Plug and an spg in the save a dive kit might be prudent.

I'm bringing the spg, but that's because I just don't trust the transmitter 100% yet. I've only been on AI for about 20 dives.

I've just never seen anyone grab my setup once its sitting in the racks.

If I hand my rig up to the boat they will sometimes grab for it like it's a handle. I watch closely to keep them from doing that. It probably still happens because on my last trip I had a little leak that turned out to be the transmitter being loose. That probably occurred because it was used as a handle when I wasn't watching. I'll be getting a hose. I keep a plug and a wrench and an allen wrench in my SAD kit.

Every boat I've been on, I rent tanks that are already in the racks. I choose or get assigned two (or 3) adjacent tanks, test for air pressure and FO2, and set my reg and BCD on one of them. No reason to have to move a tank with gear on it once its in the racks and secure.
