    Clarify: At what point does a hog rig stop being a hog rig?

    Lardb, Is that not a contradiction. If at the point you are using a HOG rig it's because you want to pile loads of stage deco cylinders or reels for cave penetrations??? I am only asking because I have pads on my shoulders when I have my doubles and two or three stages....hanging off...

    independent double tanks or isolator valve doubles.

    Of course, there are various arguments. The whole point of the manifold isolator is to stop some of the concerns above. However, some of the other concerns were the splitting and walking away. My observation is to have: 1. 2 sets of dedicated twin cylinders (all clean to 40%) one 2 x...
