For those with air integration… I have 2 HP ports on reg and 5 LP. If primary 2nd and my air integration transmitter are on tbe 2 HPs, where can I attach a backup SPG? Will those work on a LP port?

Yeah, as mentioned, that won't work. Pressure gauges (SPG or Transmitter) must go on HP ports. The LP ports are for breathing and inflating apart from an IP gauge which is used for servicing.For those with air integration… I have 2 HP ports on reg and 5 LP.

The good news is that the devices designed for high pressure will not fit on the LP ports, and vice versa. The ports are sized differently, so you can't mix it up.
Hope your LP hose didn’t explode when you opened the tank.I ran into a situation once where the ports on the first stage weren't standard, and I needed an adapter on on the HP port to fit an LP hose. Or maybe it was the other way around. Point being it's not always foolproof based on the thread sizes.
Oops I meant to say I needed an adaptor to fit a standard HP hose into the non standard HP adapter in the first stage, or maybe it was a standard LP hose that didn't fit the LP port.Hope your LP hose didn’t explode when you opened the tank.
