Hi there,

I finally got to use my DSS BP/W (Med SS, Harness, 30# Wing) and I'm looking at streamlining my hoses. I installed the hose supplied with the package, however I'm noticing that it is too long with a singles rig (Haven't tried it with doubles but I'm assuming that's what it was designed with the length in mind). It is so long it creates a bow of about 1 1/2 inches high. What length would you recommend for a LP inflator hose for single tank use?

The ideal lp hose length varies depending on the regulator used, and tank position. There is no way for us to predict exactly how long a hose any individual application may require.

You have a 18 " hose. If you want a different length simply disconnect your hose at the power inflator and measure how much it extends past the power inflator when it is routed as you desire. Then deduct this from the standard 18" hose we furnish.

Thanks! I am on my way to my LDS to swap out my hoses anyways. I was just curious if you guys supplied a hose designed for doubles. (I remember reading a post where someone said it was too long.. How???)
