Mares Abyss 22 Extreme - LPI

[scubajb]

Hey,
I just bought a Mares Abyss 22 Extreme reg and octo... but... as a dumas... i forgot about ordering a low pressure inflator hose. I read through the documentation and can't find anything referring to this so... i do have an extra drysuit hose rated to 250 pounds. will that be sufficient for the low pressure inflator hose to the BC or do I need a higher rated hose? My other LPI hoses are rated to 400 pounds...
thnaks,
Jim

Yes, it's sufficient at a 250# rating. It should only see about 140 psi, same as your standard regulator hose. The drysuit hose may be a little long when used as an LPI, but it can be used, since it has the same end fitting on it.
