Short 4"/6" HP hose for AI transmitter or directly to 1st Stage?

[Colliam7]

Simple answer = No. I have mine on 6" hoses with QD as @RainPilot correctly mentions.

Another option is to use a longer (12") hose, and route it down along the plate / wing. The longer hose idea wasn't an option, but that's what and and several buddies do.

I was thinking of this too, I would go with one slightly longer, but it would get the transmitter much closer to my Perdix, so I would imagine it would lower the chance of a dropped connection.

In my experience, dropped connections aren't nearly as prevalent as people are afraid they'll be.

I got an AI computer (Oceanic VT 4.1) with transmitter early in my dive experience, and haven't had any issues with it: dropouts are rare, reconnects quickly and automatically, and no one has used it for a handle.

Doesn't it defeat the whole concept of "one less hose" if you go and put a transmitter on a hose? Plus, it's another thing that can go wrong.

Interesting concept, thanks for sharing. I'll rootel around in my dive store and find a hose and play with that idea

Would you need the air spool with the transmitter?

Yes. I've got an air spool for the 6" hp hose from the 1st to the tx.

What brand tx do you have?

If you're using a hose, yes. In this application you don't need to go so heavy on the lube.
