Inflation hose ?

[oldschoolto]

Ok... Wife and I are going dry.... We dive conshelf XIV with 3 lp ports... What has been / what have you found the best way to add a extra hose for the dry suit ? split off at first stage ? split at BC end... Add a argon bottle ? Just like some feedback on works, Don't work well & DON'T DO THIS !!!!!

Thanks jim...

Port splitter on the 1st stag is the cheapest and easiest. Splitting at the BC connection seems to be a mess for hose routing and usage. A new/used 1st with 4 LP would be my second choice because of cost but would probably improve hose routing. Argon would be the last because of cost and adding more complexity to the kit.
I will not go down the road of adding failure points as I do not think it is relevant to this discussion.
