Delta 4 Hoses

[RIOceanographer]

I have a brand spanking new Delta 4 FDX-10 (got it this week). So far I am extremely impressed with the performance, quality and design. Can't wait to log some serious hours on it.

Now to my question. The second stage has that nifty ball joint connection to the hose, which definitely adds a level of comfort, however it also means it can't use standard regulator hoses because the fitting on the second stage is different.

I'd like to be able to rig it up with a long hose for a tech-rig (planning to take deco procedures next spring) but this creates a bit of a problem since I can't just use any off the shelf regulator hose. Does Oceanic (or a third party) make those ball joint hoses for the Delta 4 in different lengths or failing that is there a way to change the Delta 4 to a standard hose fitting so it can use other hose lengths.

Thanks

Doh, defeated by my failure to use the "search" command!

Thanks for the info, exactly what I was looking for. Figured there had to be a solution.
