Pictures of how to mount a transmitter using a short hose ...

Anyone have an idea how to hook up this uwatec? Doesn't have a channel for the spool.

Did you manage to solve this ? Facing the same issue trying to mount a older uwatec transmitter on a short HP hose
There is definitely a hex insert in the end of the valve but not sure about removing this and using a spool into the threaded hole that is then left ??

No luck. I wanted to install it on a Poseidon but the relief doesn't allow it to screw in all the way. Plan B was a short hose. No luck. Plan C was use a scuba pro or USD reg that I have lying around. I have another of these xmiters on an atomic without issues but vulnerable to breakage without the hose

XS Scuba makes a HP Port Extender for this purpose; it screws into your reg's HP port, and mates nicely with a transmitter on its female side.

Gonna try removing the hex insert at my LDS and see if we can make it work

The more you know! Thx

I am new to all of this -- can you help me understand what a spool is and why you must use one? I have a Teric with their AI pod.

This is a standard spool:

DGX Air Spool for SPG Swivel

The standard air spool with a flange in the center and compatible with most submersible pressure gauges (SPG) and high pressure SCUBA swivel hoses.

www.divegearexpress.com

Normally used with an spg to allow the spg to swivel and also provides the seal with the two O-rings. I am not familiar with all AI TXs but it is likely that when they are used with a HP hose with a standard (spg) end fitting a spool will be needed to provide a seal (between the AI TX and the HP hose connection), swiveling of course is not needed but hurts nothing.

The Aladdin doesn't have a recess for a spool which is what makes it difficult

Nope that didnt work. unscrewed hex insert but spool will not fit into the hole so given up on that idea unless anyone knows of a HP hose that does not require a spool to seal ?

Seems like you could fit @tursiops XS Scuba HP extender, between short HP hose and transmitter. Install an air spool between HP hose and extender. O-ring on transmitter makes seal on extender, just like at first stage.

The XS-Scuba port extender does not require -- nor can it use -- a spool between it and the reg. Its male end just seals to the reg with an o-ring, just like a HP hose or a transmitter does. The female end looksjust like the port on the reg itself.
The purpose of a spool is to allow swiveling at the end of a hose, so you can rea an SPG. it is superfluous for a transmitter on a hose, except that is how the female end of the hose is made.
