I am setting up my new Hollis S25 wing on my BP and have noticed that the inflator is zip tied to the corrugated hose so that the mouth piece is pointed out. It seems that if I leave it like this I will have to rotate in order to use it each time. Has anyone had this issue? I can re-do the zip ties, but is that the only way to fix it? Thanks

I just got the same wing and the inflator was oriented the same way - I took the zip tie off the elbow and rotated the hose 180* so it points the right way.

My Golem came this way also. Just reverse to fit and zip tie.
The mouthpiece needs to face you. I echo the above: reverse and re-zip tie.
OP
Sounds good, re-zip tie it is.
Came a little late, but this happens all the time with the rental gear.
You may be able to just twist the inflator so it sits right, no need to undo the zip tie.
Simply grab the hose in an OK where it wraps over the inflator and twist the inflator with the other hand.
It should turn nice and easy, if not then go ahead and re ziptie.

Thanks, g1138 I will try that before I cut the zip ties.
