Doubles Hose Routing with Fixed First Stages

[SeanW]

Hears how you want to do it.

I reccomend taking an essentials or fundamentals course. All of thos is covered and fine adjustments are made durring the program

I did my essentials of tech with a different set of regs. I originally set these up as you have, but created this thread bc of head movement problems on the alternate. Can turn fully to the left but it bunches up behind my head when turning to the right. 24” hose.

This issue is completely nonexistent with steel tanks. Just with the al80s being shorter necks that causes this for me

With the 24in hose under the corrugated… it will be just right as long as the alternate is Infront of the bladder. If its behind, inflating the bladder restricts the alternate.

While if its infront, nothing empedes it in anyway

You are over thinking it.
Wadding everything under the inflator will cause more problems than it solves

Everything? No. Just the alternate…

When your diving in trim… where is the wing it will point everything up.
All your hoses are under it.

I had pictures and videos taken when i did this. The alternate will be behind your neck. Remember this is the front view were looking at. Uw… we are in trim

You need to pull the lpi hose out of the loop in the wing. It's also wadding everything up.

Straighten up the first stages and don't run the necklace under the inflator.
You are effectively making the short hose shorter.

Gas dosen't sit in the top of the wing whan diving in trim

 

[LanceRiley]

No it doesnt but the hose still has to be infront of the wing to be behind your neck.

Under the inflator looks like it is going to be shorter from the front. When your diving it wont go in front it will be behind your left shoulder to the back of your neck . Shorter and less kink

So are you asking for advice or are you trying to tell everyone that you think you have improved a system that was perfected in 1990?

 

[LanceRiley]

Im sorry but i was answering the one who posted.

And what system is that ?

Ive tried the setup you posted. Why dont you try mine.


Im not telling everyone. And by everyone … who do you mean?


Are you tring to tell everyone that what you say is it? And theres no other?

Because this has worked perfectly for 3 decades

 

[LanceRiley]

If it has worked 3 decades…. So did the recreational length hose in doubles.

Just try it.
