miflex colors

[Capt. Bas]

I’ve had 3 high pressure hoses burst that were on my deco bottles . Mind You I bend them like a u ,and bind it with a rubber band so my gauge is positioned right.

Maybe just follow the instructions of minimum bend radius.
Using a miflex 6" and turning it into a U is more or less kinking them.
In this case the failure of the hose is not a normal failure but a made up failure by user error.

Just my 2eurocents.

spotted a typo, many more can be visible ;-)

The way I setup my gear is the way it needs to be. I don't reconfigure my setup to specs of inferior gear. The rubber hoses never burst on me no matter how I twisted them,
so, been-there done-that, and moving on. Rubber hoses are time tested and can withstand the abuse I need it to.
Having my inflator low pressure hose also burst on me a few weeks ago was the last nail on the coffin
for myflex-anything on my gear.

Hey if you want to correct my typos, by all means knock your self out.

Are they flotte even at depth?

Yes, and that's another great advantage to Miflex hoses for side mount. They float right up tight to you body and don't hang down. Come to think of it, this is an advantage for back mount hose routing, too.
