I'm considering some DR regs, if you use them I would appreciate some feedback on how they route on doubles and singles with an H-valve, so if you guys could post up some pics for me and/or describe how your hoses are routed and what lengths you use (backup, inflator and SPG mainly) I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!!!

I bought a pair of them. One as a stage and one as an O2 reg. I haven't yet played with the routing for backgas but they shouldn't be all that difficult. The LP ports (4) are on a swivel with the HP ports fixed. I am considering getting another pair for my backgas so I did look at routing and found they were very similar to the zeagle DS4 I already have and likely are a swap in replacement for the first stages. (zeagle DS4 roughly = Apeks DS4) I see no issues in routing with my hoses. (22" alternate, 24" SPG, 7' primary, 20" LP inflator, 22" LP drysuit if I recall)

Hope this helps

Ben, I have DiveRites on my doubles. I will put 'em together and take some pictures.

I have had them on an Hvalve, and don't recall any problems, but didn't look to hard either.
 
Well, if I try to upload the pics one more time and get one more "Upload failed" message, I will lose my precarious grip on sanity. If you PM me your email address, I will *try* to send them to you. But hurry, as I am up at 4:30 AM to leave town for a week.
 
the gallery is down...

can you attach them to your post?
 
nope... i tried too just now
 
I use them for my doubles. I can't post pics but I can tell you they route great. The low pressure ports swivel (as mentioned above) so you can keep everything clean & neat.
I use a 7 foot hose on my primary, a 20 inch on my spg. I can't remember what my alternate & inflator lengths are. I would have to measure them.

I have had them down to 262 feet & they breath great. I do have the environmental seal kits on mine. No freeze ups to date.

In short, I love them.
