    what is the average length wing inflator LP hose?

    I just bought a Evolve 40lb wing which didn't come with a LP inflator hose. I don't have a double tank setup for measurement at this point. What is the standard LP inflator hose length, if there is one?

    I don't think there's a "standard" length. I'd go with the length that allows you to comfortably inflate your wing manually if the need arises.

    Here's a couple of reference threads. The last one also has a link to a site to order inflator hoses of various lengths.

    thank you. I really should put the setup together and measure. But my tanks are still not binded together yet.

    I've got my doubles set up and I just went to measure. My bc inflator hose comes off my right post as I wear them, and is 24".

    I just looked in my Fundies workbook and it says 22" the preferred length for the inflator hose.

    It depends on the length of the corrugated hose, my Oxy wing came with a 16" corrugated hoes and a 22" BC hose, I swapped it out with a 13" corrugated hose and use a 18" BC hose. Generally wings come with the BC hose.

    The Halcyon corrugated hoses are (appropriately) shorter than most others. So the average length won't do you much good.

    Halcyon have shorter corrugated hoses and works well with a 22" LP hose.

    A new evolve wing should include an inflator hose, last time I checked.
