Nemrod SPG with modern HP hose

[jamescjy]

Hi all, so i have this very good condition Nemrod SPG, and i really like to use it with my dive setup but without the original HP hose which has a bigger size female thread.

Any idea how can i use this gauge with modern HP hose? an adapter with a spool something like that?

Good question, wonder if the Nimrod is some weird metric size ? (Nemrod was a Spanish brand, if memory serves.)

My Nemrod single hose uses standard hose fittings, but I have a newer SPG for it. Nemrod was also manufactured in the US as well as in Spain.

This may be an old HP gas fitting, and may not have been on a swivel.

that is interesting. I am not aware that they have it in standard fittings. So it has standard HP spool as well just like modern ones?

They sell adapters somewhere.I have somewhere.They go both ways.For the older hoses to fit in a new first stage or reverse.

I was saying the first and second stages had standard fittings, I don't have the SPG. At a certain point in time there were no spools and SPG's did not swivel. Your SPG might be from that time, or have a proprietary swivel that is no longer attached.

That fitting on the SPG looks like a gas compression fitting.

do u mean the 7/16" to 3/8" adapter and vice versa? i have that too.. but i like to replace my hose which is a bit too long for me ( i have short torso) and kind of bulky and heavy

Hello James that what I meant.Look for a cheap older gauge with a good hose.

Didn't know, thought the swivel would be on the hose.

You might want to go to a local hydraulic shop and talk to them about fittings and adapters. They deal with HP fittings and hoses over a lot of years, and if they don't have a solution, they may be able to tell you what the fittings actually are and send you to a supplier or you could look for them on the Internet once you know what the fittings are called.


Good luck
