Question Dive Rite wing pull dump

[youllfloattoo]

How did they lie? I love DR. Good stuff from honorable people. Yeah, I know most of them since the factory is 20 minutes away.

Dive Rite said the longer the hose the more play the cable inside had to have. That made no sense to me. Why a 22 inch hose had to have 4 inches of play while a 12 inch hose would have 1 inch. Makes zero sense.
That is why I made the post. Another poster said take it apart and shorten it. I did and took out of the play and it works great. So that is why I said they lied. What else would you call that?

Where is their factory?

It does to me. The longer the hose, the more the natural stretch of the hose due to gravity. Just physics.

You should give it up mate your acuities don't match your idea of your capabilities

I mean come on really would you dive with you

have you ever had a fat lip

About 25 minutes NE of where I live, in Lake City Florida. Indeed, I consider the owners friends and have even dove with them. Halcyon is about 30 minutes east, and I can say the same about them. Light Monkey is even closer, and while we haven't dove together, they are still friends. I've toured all these as well as other Scuba factories, and all of them have different philosophies towards their gear. Except for quality. All of them are dedicated to excellence. They just do it differently.

I’d call it a lack of understanding on your part about Hooke’s law. Admittedly the hose is rubber and not linear but the concept is the same.

To maintain the same force to activate the valve, a longer hose will have to stretch a greater distance.

Mate what Hooke is talking about, anything elastic which includes the linear rubber hose
despite in this case, the majority of resistance, being supplied by your dump valve spring

basically no resistance until the dump levers are tensioned immediately before actuation

taking up the tow rope before there is any towing

Don't be waking Hooke up

Not sure why you are so angry. Seems like I hit a nerve.

I did look up that location and that is very impressive they can manufacture all of that in such a small building. Not sure why they don't list their gear as made in the USA.

Most of us already know. Their regulators are made overseas, but most everything else is in-house. I've seen them do the work.

Tell us more about how the length of anything being stretched, twisted, or compressed, has no effect on force required to do so.

While you’re at it, go ahead and cut a couple of coils off of your car’s springs, let us know how the ride changes.
