Looking for working pictures of ATX200 (or similar) hose routing

[savechief]

I have found lots of discussion in the archives about hose routing with an Apeks ATX200 reg, but I'm looking for some pictures on a single tank setup, as I'm a visual learner. Preferably, the picture would be of the whole single tank setup, or at least with the reg mounted to a cylinder. All of the pictures from the archives seem to have disappeared.

Thanks,

John

Nobody with an Apeks reg owns a digital camera?

I have an XTX-200 that I use along with a DS4/XTX50 on double tanks.. I can take a pic of my setup if that will help you..

Basically all my hoses fire downward and the regs are turned sideways..

For a single tank rig? For the FSR (ATX200 first stage), you'd mount the diaphram up. As you look at the rig from behind, the inflator hose would route from the left, the spg from the left (hp port is the single lower port), and the primary and secondary from the right. Perfect angles, those hoses route very cleanly for a single tank.

For the FST (ATX100 first stage, aka "flathead") and a single tank, you'd do everything the same except mount the diaphram down, so the hp port is still the lower port.

I use ATX 200's. Although I don't have any pic's handy now, I can sen 'em later. But the easy answer is that I run my 1st upside down. I started doing this on my single 120 cf., primarily for head clearance.

I run all my Apeks regs sideways so they fire downward.. The diaphram on both of them go twords the left(when wearing the equipment).. This work perfect on my doubles(obviously) and also works great on my single lp120 that I have an H valve on.. If you face them twords each other then the 2 regs will touch since the distance between the 2 din valves(H valve) isnt that far..

Also, im using a XTX200 and a DS4/XTX50..
