Inflator Hose Routing

[Mflynn06]

Mounting my Atomic first stage on my Sub-Gravity Paragon Single and my inflator hose just doesn’t flow naturally to its connection. Curious to see what you guys think and recommend. Especially when the wing is inflated it goes over it but then had to make a hard u turn up to the first stage.

That's the way I would run it, though I would also remove the HP hose and only use the transmitter if we're talking about hose routing

Also when inflated it puts some rearward pressure on my second stage and spg hoses.

I too would only use the transmitter and ditch the SPG.

You could rotate the axis about 20 deg closer to vertical to lessen the "downward" angle on the inflator. You could also run the hose on the outside of the inflator elbow to increase the bend radius. Third vote for xmitter (in the other port, away from the valve handle) & no SPG.

You might consider moving the tank a bit higher on BC. I would also consider moving the inflator hose one more port towards the front on the turet.

Thanks everyone. Taking the kids to Legoland so I will update when I get back!

I think for atomic, the bottom port connect to long hose method isn't the best. Atomic 1st is relatively low profile, it stays very close to the valve, so 1st stage need to be at quite an angle. I eventually go back to using side port for long hose, so 1st stage sit straight. maybe give that at try? The bottom port for long hose works a lot better on mk25 because it stick out more.

A DIN connection would take the reg further back and give you some space. Also are you using an STA? It would also give you some space

Agree. That also gives the transmitter better protection. Bottom port is great for LPI hose in doubles or sidemount but that's about it.
