Apeks DST 1st stage upside down

[his_dudeness]

Hi All, i got a 2nd and DST to replace my DS4 as I wanted the extra HP port. I got it serviced and it works well but I realized on the LP port is a 1/2 inch. I was wondering if I can mount it upside down so that I could invert the left and right hoses configuration, as I have a 1/2 BCD inflator currently on a reducer?

You can mount it in whatever position you want.
Gravity does not factor in how well it works.

Since it's a turret, why not just rotate the 1/2 port to align with the wing and move the other hoses (while still pointing down/normal)? Mounting it upside down is more likely to bump your head.

I didn't know it could swivel by 180 degrees...I thought only small adjustments. I will try.

If you remove all the hoses from the turret you'll be able to turn full 360 and install the hoses to the desired ports.

Yes, I tried that and it works. Thanks!
