Does anyone know where to buy all the necessary pieces to build a cheap whip? I am wanting to build one with a hose of around 15 feet in length.

Does posting on Scubaboard count towards your 5 post a day limit?

Most, if not all Parker dealers can make up air hoses to any length while you wait. I just had a 12 foot Parflex 526BA hose made up for a customer with 1/4" NPTM swivels on each end and I think it ran arond $60. You should be able to get Ts, gauges and misc fittings there as well. Filler adapters are available from any compressor guy (like me 
) and lots of dive shops.

I build them for pretty cheap. PM me if you want a price for a 15' whip.

I built a whip using 2 1st stages and a hose from a hydrolic place.
It does mean I need to assemble it to use it or diassemble t if I need the 1st stages but its cheap and effective and I only use it to fill a pony bottle that the LDS wouldnt fill as its not LAB tested for NZ.
