storage of regs

[fookisan]

When gear is stored away for long periods is it advisable to unscrew some hoses off the 1st stage so they do not get bent? If so, what is good to cap the ends of them off with so nothing gets inside of the open hose ends?

Thanks,

Dan

Your first choice should be to store the regs in a location where the hoses aren't getting bent/stressed in the first place, if that's not an option I just keep the parts in a heavy ziplock (freezer) bag.

Don't disconnect the hoses. Just coil everything up so there are no kinks. Keep them in a dry place out of sunlight. Store them in a closest somewhere. Rinse them and dry them before you store them.

You can leave the hoses attached and coil up the hoses so there is no kinks and us tie wraps to keep the hoses from moving. I have a reg bag that keeps my hoses from kinking.

just wrap it up with no coils and store in a sealed plastic container out of the sunlight works greaat!
