I'm about to purchase a hose for a single tank rig. Did you fix the problem?
I moved the 22" hose from the rear port to the front port and it works better. A slightly longer hose, say 24", might be even better, but the 22" works well enough in this configuration.
I use a 22 on my single rig (DR 1st stage) and have no problems with the length. I like a 24 for my doubles as I use it off the left post. (Primary on right post - backup on left). In my single rig I usually clip the SPG to the chest d-ring and with doubles w/stage go to the hip.
Speaking of the short hose, I got a 22" hose and I'm finding it way too short. The reg hangs in front of me and to the right. It's mounted on the right rear LP fitting on my DS4 first stage. (Diaphram is facing downwards.) The long hose is mounted on the right front LP fitting. 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.

I see so many numpties clip it to the opposite side across the chest...excuse being easy to read...
clutter where you don;t need it. Have your spg where its easy to grab and read but don't have it banging around your chest where, invariably, the necklace is far too long and sags like a pair of old **** and you have a nice gathering of gear to play with.
The necklace bungee should be right under your chin so you can dip your head and take it.......no hands.

What if the person doesn't have a left arm and is unable to clip it to the left d-ring? Would that person still be a "numptie"?
I'll have mine clipped to my left chest d-ring. Since it is "easy to read".
