pee valve location

[lexa]

Hey guys,

I'm about to install p-valve on my drysuit. Is there any better location that inner thigh specific to sidemount?

I don't see how any specific tank configuration would have anything to do with pee valve location. Tanks are no where near your inner thigh. I could see how thigh pockets could be affected, but not a pee valve.

Positon matters, if too far in it will rub on the other leg which is annoying and can open/close the valve. If too far out it can catch on line and stuff and rub on tanks which is annoying and can open/close the valve.

I've not heard of a SM recommended location either. For me pee valve location is primarily based on my anatomy not my gear config.

Interesting though, perhaps someone else can add value.

Regards,

When adding stages, it eventually round-mounts. So not too far outside, but not too far inside that it rubs on your other leg...

Mine is on the inside thigh right leg mid way between groin & knee.
Placed it there while back mount diving.
If I take center front of thigh as 12:00 o-clock, mine's at about 10:30.
Has made not difference since I switched to sidemount 2 years ago.
I carry two 80 alums & a 40 alum on rare occasions with no issues.
