changing Halcyon 27 inflator hose?

[jplacson]

Has any Halcyon owner been able to change the inflator hose on the Pioneer 27 wings to a different one?

Either one with a pull dump, or one with an inflator/octo combo? Thanks!

Kamusta,
You can mount a Air 2 on the inflator but not a pull dump.... I tried it on my 27# just to try out the BC. This was just a temp thing since I'm trying to get DIR compliant.

Hehehehe... I know... Halcyon dealer was like "Noooooooooo!!!!" hahahaha.

I know it's not DIR. Whether I use a real octo or not though, I'd like to have a combo inflator as well... it's back-up for the octo as well.

The standard inflator works fine as a third backup. Press both buttons at the same time and breath it. You'll be breathing tank air, not BC air.

OOoo... ya... that's kinda what I wanna do. I see you used a plastic tie to connect it to the corrugated hose... why didn't you use the black screw-in clamp that came with the original Halcyon inflator? But ya... I want an Air2 or an Apeks Octo+

Screw in clamp??? hehehe didn't even know about that ... I got the BC off of ebay. I should have just bought it new but this works as well. With the bungee there though it makes raising the inflator harder. But then again I think Seajay said somthing about just letting the water pressure equalize the bladder. Then there's also the rear dump which is easier if you are head down a little bit
