I think the short hose would be better on the right front fitting, but I'm wondering if 22" is too short for a single rig. (Maybe it would be better on the right-hand post of a doubles rig.) What length is recommended for the short hose of a single rig?
22" is the standard length—I’ve seen some 24" hose used but that is usually for a doubles setup (where the short hose is coming from the left post). The short hose should be on the front LP port on the DS4.
