Questions on doubles???

[Mayor]

My steel HP100s / pro valve just got to the shop this week. I'm looking to use 2 Oceanic GT3 / CDX5 with them after changing them to DIN. Not real sure how the first stage is going to work with this set up. Any one using the GT3 / CDX5 with doubles? What other first stage could I use? Pictures? Thanks in advance for any help!

Here ya go! But I will say I have since moved all the lp hoses to the rear ports and they work better.
ANd don;t know why these won't enlarge. Go here for a pic that will.

Thanks Jim! How do you like them?

Been diving them for going on 3 years now and have no issues. Been down to 155 feet in Erie in 38-40 degree water. I also service em myself and they are a breeze to do and adjust. Love the regs. Actually have a GT3 on necklace and Delta3 on primary. Same reg just the Delta has a venturi switch which I never use anyway. If I had the cash I'd buy a couple more GT3's or even Alpha 8's just for the cdx5 firsts.

I Like the MK25 and Apeks, also use MK17, that can be routed very similarly to Apeks.

I'm not a huge fan of the hose routing in the first set of pics, it looks like it would be hard to reach and turn the valves. I have a CDX-5 and GT3 on my left post, and have the hoses coming straight down and around. IMO, more streamlined and easier to squeeze in and out of doorways/windows in wrecks.

I agree always try to keep the hoses pointed down and away fromt he side hide them behind the wing under the manifold .

Imo i like the mk25/atomic hose routing
