Hello, I am new to the board and need some help. I am switching from a Dacor Extreme Plus which is impossible to find parts for to the Conshelf XIV. I am interested in where people put the second stage, octopus, etc on the first stage. Also, is it possible to switch the second stage to a left hand input.
As a general rule with a irst stage of that shape, I point the HP port down the left side of my body at anywhere from a 90 to 135 degree angle from vertical (3 to 5 o'clock) and then install the inflator hose, primary second stage hose and octo hose in counter clockwise order as it puts them close to the direction they need to be pointing.
The Conshelf 14 second stage inlet fitting is permanently attached to the case as is the internal flow vane so the hose cannot be reversed.
