conshelf 14 HP port size

[OldNSalty]

I just acquired a button gauge for a pony and I was going to use one of my conshelfs as the reg for this pony but I found that the HP port is too small. Now I assume that the button gauge is 1/2" but what size is the HP port? I need to order some type of adapter. While I am asking, does anyone know where I can get a 90 degree swivel that isn't overpriced? My LDS tried to sell me one for $60 and it looks like even scubaToys is $35. I was thinking around $20 would be reasonable.

Thanks

Don't know about the HP port size on the conshelf but standard size is 7/16". I will say get a miflex hose and you will not need a swivel, they eliminate any hose pull they are so flexible. They cost about what the swivel costs.

The port in the Conshelf is the 3/8” which was used for both HP and LP (now only LP are 3/8”). Make sure you are using the correct port.

The button gauge is probably the modern 7/16” size port.

You can get a straight adapter from many places including your LDS, Leisurepro, etc.

Thanks guys-That answered my question mostly but I see I didn't include everything.

I see now that I need the 3/8 to 7/16 adapter for the button gauge on my pony setup but I also have another regulator. An SE3 first stage with a conshelf 14 second that I wanted to add the elbow swivel to.

The shop is putting a new hose (myflex) on my reg while they do the service on this set up. I assume that if there is any need for an adapter-say from the second stage to the new hose that they will put that on so do I still need the 3/8 inlet and 7/16 outlet or would a regular 90 degree work-I see piranha dive has one for $12.

This item is for HP (high pressure) use only.

I did not realize you were also looking for a LP swivel for your regulator. Those are different items and do not require any adapter.

LP swivels are available for the first stage to hose connection and a different kind is available for the hose to second stage connection.
