Which port for primary and secondary?

CALI68 · Sep 11, 2004

Does anyone have a link that shows which LP port to put the primary in and which LP port to put the back up in on a single tank? Or could ya tell me? I have a Legend LX Supreme and there are two LP ports on either side (a total of four LP Ports)

Thanks!

My ATX200 is set up as follows

back up reg uses the most forward port or the port closest to my head while the long hose uses the rearward port or the one furthest from my head.

I'm not sure how your first stage is set up, but my sherwood is a "circle" with ports radiating around it LOL...the long hose is on the port that is on the bottom right (pointing down)...Backup is higher right. SPG lowest left, BC Highest Left. (Note: My Sherwood has five ports and my drysuit is in the middle left...actually its the High left with the BC almost on top)

Hope that helps a bit.

Here's the set up I use for my Atomic B1. Its been perfect for me so far. The biggest change for me was taking the long hose out the bottom of the 1st stage (thanks, Arnaud.)

I have 4 LP ports PLUS the one on the bottom (total of 5.) So it lets me get a great low profile angle with this config and I don't have hoses looping all over the place.

Very important if you don't wanna come up looking all SwampThing with kelp hanging off your back. Yuk.

I'm doing my first dive tomorrow with a full (minus a can light

) Hog Rig. I'm getting very close to being ready for my DIR F class. Can't wait!

My first stage doesn't have that cool lower port. Gotta love those Atomics!

I like that. I think that's as clean as it can get on a single-reg setup.
The Apeks 100/200 would be really clean if they didn't put the angles on the ports.

Have to agree that bottom port makes for one clean single tank hose routing set up. Another view of a single tank set up like ken's.

Thanks Guys the set up worked great and I had no issue with the Hose routing (thanks to you). I use an Aqua Lung Legend LX Supreme monted upside down and it seems to be fine.

A bit off the topic but can I fudge the length of the SPG hose? I know it's been a topic of debate but man, should it be that hard to see?

I had a 24" HP hose on my last set up and it sucked with singles but worked great on my doubles. I ordered a 26" hose this time but was sent a 28" hose by mistake. I am going to keep the 28" hose as it still routes smoothly and is not excessively long and is easy to read when unclipped.
