Divad not sure what you mean. And to be clear the ultraflex you are referring to are the ultraflex rubber hoses I am referring to by Pirnha correct? As fast as length goes I was thinking of running one 7’ (ultraflex in that length should be out beginning of the year) but for now I believe 62”...

Yes after a call to Edge/Hog I found out mine were OK and I immediately put them into service. There working great so far and I’ve teamed them up with some SP 156BA second stages. Breathing so effortlessly. I imagine the Hog/ edge seconds would also be very satisfying. BTW all three of my...

Okay thanks. I’ve just gone side mount and all my hoses have memory from back mount. I don’t like the braided hoses although I love the soft flexibility of them around the second stage. Hate the feel of the braid and find it rough even before it’s started to wear. That’s why I was looking at...

I’m in Australia and finding uktraflex rubber hoses are impossible. Ordering abroad the shipping is killing me. So I was thinking of just getting Miflex hose and then wrapping with silicone amalgamating tape with say 20% overlap. It should remain more flexible then rubber hose and remain...

1. Okay I’ll have a play with my valve positions some more. 2. ATM I’m doing NDL dives and using two 7l steel faber tanks. I have waist D loops back and side for experimenting. Clipping back waist D loops are cramped but my tail ends on my tank are very short. So thought maybe to extend...

Hi Andy, Could I please ask a few questions? I just went for my second SM dive. I have no mentors in my area and no side mount corses anywhere near me. In fact around these parts there’s no SM divers I have been able to find. Now my questions are as follows. 1. Why valves up (towards back)...

This is to run my dive hat and in case I need to go deep. I already have stuff for banked air but it's too heavy to get the same supply of air. I work mostly shallow and would need about 500cuft of supply. When I work deep it's shorter typically but it's nice to know you have ample supply if...

Howdy, Im interested in as quiet as possible Gas/ petrol powered hookah. Light and portable minimum 5cfm free air @130psi. My ideal unit would be a two stage compressor 175psi with at least 6cfm @175psi but finding that in a lightweight scenario has proved difficult. So if I can't I would take...

I've seen that method of connecting regs before. So happens I was trying to find it again. In particular I was interested in the one with double ended snap lock. Do you like that method? Do you use about a 3" double end or longer. I have a 4" it seemed too long. Also thanks for all the...

Wow as fascinating as all this is. People seem to be way off topic. Is their anymore insight on hose routing solutions for left right second stages? I'm a bit bewildered that; Scubapro, Hollis, Diverite, Hog, Deep six, Apex etc. etc. all make left right regulator sets but they are apparently...

Thank you I appreciate your insight. I do have another 109 converted 156BA I can use and route the hoses on the same side or as mentioned I could just cross one from either side around neck and have a dedicated donating regulator that always sits on top. I'll think about it some more and play...

Okay so far it sounds like pros and cons for going behind the neck or not. With no real clear winner. What I don't get is the people that are for going around the neck. Does that mean you are routing the right tank reg across the body and around the neck too which I have seen yet some of what...

Okay I get that. But that does not really answer my question. I have a left and right second stages. My understanding is to not run either around the neck. So yes, both will get clipped off and I would rig the bolt clips with a strong break away. What I want to know is about routing those...

Howdy I'm just setting up my side mount gear. (There are no sidemount divers in my area apparently but one a ways away I'm looking to hook up with later.) I have left and right second stages but am having difficulty finding advice on the most comfortable and versatile hose routing. Everything...

I just bought three new D3 1st stages and some service kits for when the time comes to service them. I noticed the service kits ask me to contact Edge/Hog before servicing if the D3 unit being serviced has the last 4 digits in the SN# below 6000. In my case all three units I just bought all have...

Thanks Josh that's great info. I was Speaking with Randy at Piranha but all they have is the omniswivel with one way valve. I'm not sure how much water these let in? They also only have 1lb check valve so I'm thinking it would not take much pressure to ingress (depth change or high current...

Well I definitely want to minimise water intrusion so I'll pay extra for that. So far it seems like BSP threaded fittings with UNF adapters are the easiest way to go. Also seems for availability etc Tema are in the lead. Does anyone know what Parker DESO fittings some people use? I've just...

Please be gentle I'm new here Well I've lurked for awhile but first time post. Hopefully this is the best place to post this. I am looking for the best option overall for some LP quick connect DESO (Double end shut off, allowing for connect / disconnect while underwater) fittings. I...
