I am using a SP MK16 for my single tank setup (with a Halcyon Eclipse wing). The LP port from the MK16 1st stage points in an angle with points directly toward the wing inflator. I understood that the inflator hose which comes with the wing is 22" standard, which is what I am using. The hose looks too long to me as I route and connect it to the inflator.

Does anyone has such problem as well. If so, did you switch to a shorter inflator hose? Are there hoses inflator market that's shorter than 22"?

I know that www.diveriteexpress.com are selling 15". It is a big reduction from 22" so I am not sure if that will be right? Any where shorter inflator hoses are available?
 
I had good luck getting other than standard sized hoses for my H wings at www.extreme-exposure.com
They were extremely helpful, might want to give them a call.

From their site, the available length is 22" which is what I am currently using.
 
Yes, you have to call them, they have other sizes in stock. I got some 24" inflator hoses, and they said they have other sizes, I just don't know exactly what.
 
I have 3 spare LP hoses; from 14-18 inches. I picked them up at a local shop. I use the shorter hoses when I put on a "sub duck" (noise-maker)on one of 2 BC's. Keeps the LP hose length close to the inflator hose length. Total cost less than $20.
