Standard bc inflator hose length?

[fullbore]

Hi,

My bc is on the way, but didn't come with an inflator hose. I've noticed that there seems to be several lengths available, how do I work out which one suits my bc?
It is a Seaquest with the standard powerline inflator.
Anybody know what length inflator hose I should need?

cheers

24" is most common for single tank setups. If you will have a DiveAlert or SubAlert, a 22" hose is better.

Both of my SeaQuest BCDs came with a 24"/60cm inflator hose.

All Zeagle BCs come with a 28" hose, exept for XL and up, which come with a 30" hose.

Fullbore, you may also find that it depends a little on your regulator's first stage.
My Dacor had a first stage that was vertical - the low pressure port for the inflator faced toward the front. With this setup the standard 24" hose worked good.
When I switched to a Sherwood reg, with a horizontal first stage, the hose port no longer faced forward. Now the same 24" hose is a bit short, it pulls the inflator up and off of my chest a little. I'm looking for one that is about 2" longer.

Thanks Dennis,
The regulator is an apeks ATX-200, the manual says the first stage is an FSR? it's not the swivel it's fixed.
I've seen some hoses at about 27' so I guess this falls somewhere between the Zeagle and standard, maybe thats the go.
