Question Connecting suunto transmitter via HP Hose

[compressR]

Hey,

sorry upfront if my questions are really stupid.
I am quite new to hose connections in general and therefore don't have any knowledge so far.

What I want to achieve:
I would like to connect a Suunto Transmitter to my first stage via a 15cm HP Miflex hose.

So far, what I have resad: The Transmitter needs a flow restrictor, but actually does come with one.
But from what I understood, that's for screwing the transmitter directly into the first stage.

Can I use the included flow restrictor also when using a HP hose in between?
Where would I then place this flow restrictor? Between the transmitter and the HP-Hose, or between the HP-Hose and the first stage?
If I would need to guess, I would say: Between the first stage and the HP-Hose, as there is no need for "unrestricted" flow being possible in the HP hose at all.
(So in case my HP hose would fail/burst/rip, the leaking would be restricted?)
Is that assumption correct?

Then I have heard of the need of a swivel between the HP hose and the transmitter.
At least I read, that HP hose connections rely on a swivel being inserted, to actually be airtight, even when the "rotating feature" is not needed.
Does this apply here too? Mostly I read about swivels in the context of manual pressure gauges.

I hope you don't mind, that complete beginners post questions here too.

Thanks a lot

Question - Question on how to attach an extension hose between an MK17 and a Suunto pod

Hey there, I have newbie questions about high pressure stuff :) I bought an extension hose from TDS together with a Suunto pod. The idea is (of course) to get some distance between the transmitter and the first stage. Without the hose things assemble OK, however with the hose the o-ring on...

scubaboard.com

The images in the OP show two different types of Flow restrictors. The one with a single O-ring is for direct attachment. The other is a more typical spool. This is the same as you would find between an SPG and a hose. The spool will go between the hose and the transmitter, there is likely another o-ring that goes outside the threads. This is only needed for direct attachment, so you won't need this for hose attachment.

Welcome to da board. The above link is good.

To attach to a hose.

1. Remove o-ring on the transmitter.
2. Insert a "spool" into the transmitter.

3. Screw hose and transmitter together.
4. Attach hose to first stage.
5. Go diving.
