I recently purchased a side mount regulator set and the Hollis SMS100. I dive dry suit and need an inflator on both sides. Hollis SMS100 came with 12" inflator hose and 1st stages have a turret and 5th LP port on the end.
Most of my issues are with the left tank. The right tank has a long hose and 12" inflator hose to DrySuit and is fine. The left tank came with a 22" hose which is too short to go around the neck and get tanks under the arm. I put a 30" hose on it and that is better. However, with the inflator, the Hollis SMS100 inflator is on the shoulder and 12" inflator hose is too short and the hose is pointed in on the 5th port and making it hard to get the bottle under the arm not to mention if you try to move the tank out front it gets all tangled up.
So in short how do you rout inflator hose for the left tank and what is the length of the hose?
Secondly, do you put the 5th port in our out?
