Suit Inflation Rigging for Xdeep NX Project Backplate

[RichardHead]

Hi, I have an Xdeep NX Project backplate and am wishing to add a suit inflation system.
Any recommendations on what rigging system/method to attach to this atypical plate?

I would prefer you not tell me to get a standard backplate, i have those too but i'm specifically wanting to stay with my xdeep plate.
Thank you!

Not sure why the typical approach won't work on that plate, just with the cam band lower down. Here's a dive-rite but others are similar:

Could also drill a hole up higher.

That image you used is also for the small size Zen BP. The large size Zen BP is an inch or two taller and has an seventh hole on the bottom. Might even be able to do something along these lines if you wanted the inflation bottle valve and reg a little higher up and away from the left hip d-ring.

Thanks very much guys!

While I haven’t gotten the mounting kit yet, I’ve lined my plate up to my 40lb wing as shown in the image and aligned the bottle.

I’m not seeing how there’s anyway to avoid clashing with the rear dump valve. Any opinions beside just getting a standard backplate?
Mounting it higher up would put the reg higher than the wasitband.

Thank you

When horizontal, the bottle sags down and the wing lifts up, creating space for your hand to reach the dump valve.

Thank you - my fear is that the plate is so wide compared to a standard plate that even if it is as you say, it will still be conflict.

Drilled a hole higher up and am going to give this a go. I realize the bottle is up really high. Will report back

Happy to report that the setup as shown above worked well
