Perhaps I'm looking at this whole concept wrong, or ... Wouldn't the better idea be to just sell this reg and buy one that doesn't require special hoses and has a second stage that you can't readily take apart for cleaning. That one move will now allow you to use that readily available 7' hose, will not require a relief valve and will allow you to clean any debris from the second stage. What am I missing here? Sounds like treating the symptoms and not the cause. Cobbling, eh? I like that.
