Swivel hose for Hollis 500SE

[James Ocean]

I recently purchased a Hollis 500SE reg and would like to put a swivel hose on it (I had a swivel on my Atomic reg which I really liked as it place the reg in my mouth in a perfect position)

The 500SE has a cover over the hose nut which holds the reg together so I can't use my existing Atomic universal swivel hose.

Anyone know if there's a swivel available for this reg?

I dived mine the exact same way in Grand Cayman a couple years ago.
I didn't use a swivel, but just a straight 120° connector.

You need to be a little careful disassembling the valve, but if you pull back the rubber trim cover with the notches in it, and unscrew the nut, you'll see a standard hose connection. Just carefully attach the hose to the valve assembly before reinserting the assembly back into the housing, so you don't torque the case.

When you attach your swivel it will jam against the notches in the rubber cover a little bit but isn't really a problem.
