A 40" hose can work without an elbow, but I can see where an elbow would make it nicer (and I don't see if a major failure point).el-ninio:Let me jump in the wagon
I'm diving a BP/wing, singules, not caves (non avalble in this contry), and no real wrecks. I do not need a 7' hose. Its a clear overkill for my diving. Its not the cost- it's really not that much, but I want to keep my setup as clean and minimal as posible - and a hose twice the length i need is neither.
But still, i do want to move my backup to a bungee, and I would rather not add an elbow (not KISS, again). Is there no other solution? what about routing your "longer" hose from the left side of the first stage and then behind your back and from the right to your mouth? Or from the right post, under your neck, to the back and into the mouth? There has got to be some way to do this.
I would put two short hoses on it and be done, say a 24 for the primary and a22 for the backup. but we've been through this before haven't weJeffG:A 40" hose can work without an elbow, but I can see where an elbow would make it nicer (and I don't see if a major failure point).
Just for the record, I want to say I feel this is dangerous advice. Neither a 24" nor a 22" hose will allow you to share air effectively. It might work for solo divers, but don't assume you will be able to donate air to your buddy.novadiver:I would put two short hoses on it and be done, say a 24 for the primary and a22 for the backup. but we've been through this before haven't we
