I have a small spg gauge and I'm looking to get it on a hose so I can see it up front as a backup. Do they make a hose extension that goes from the reg to the same thread as the mini spg gauge? Hopefully they make a right angle adapter fitting as well.

If you want to actually see it, why not a gauge you can actually read instead of the eye strain edition?

You can get a straight one or a right angle. But a larger gauge is probably better.
The adapter goes on the end of a standard HP hose.

I have that gauge and use it just fine for my slung auxiliary/pony bottle I have it on a Mk V with an Oceanic pancake second stage with braided hose or now a AL Core Supreme second. I also have a little rubber boot (it is optional). I can see the gauge just fine with my new prescription mask. I installed it on the end of a 6 inch HP braided hose DGX brand). Take a inner tube rubber band or a 1 inch or so loop of 4mm bungeed and double the hose back so the gauge is pointing up/forward. Then slip the bungee/rubber band on the hose so that it now rests under the fittings at the gauge and at the first stage. Very compact result. There is a 90 degree elbow that can be gotten for it but I like it straight so I can look down and see it without manipulating it.

To use the gauge as a regular spg just buy a standard HP hose and spool and adapter:

DGX Adapter: Mini-SPG to HP Hose, Straight (includes spool)

DGX Adapter: Mini-SPG to HP Hose, 90-Degree (includes spool)

For those of us who fly, every ounce can count. Especially with the addition of a bottle. Ounces add to pounds, pounds add to overweight luggage that then gets abused purposely and not to mention over charges in both directions. And I have to carry it. Yes, ounces count. N
