Rich, with the regs I use, the high pressure hoses naturally run to the left side, so they both go quite nicely down the side with very little bend. One guage is smooth and one has "fins" to avoid confusion. If you are using the Sherwood "slant back" valves, it is possible to run the hoses down toward the tank without too much bending. This would allow for running a HP hose down either side. Nothing wrong with that, might help you to avoid the possibility of confusion. There are good principles and dangerous principles, but there is no "one right way" that covers all situations and all people. The important thing is to mentally go through all the "what if" possibilities before committing a rig to the water and to use something that will feel natural and comfortable for you. And then practice, practice..Good Divin, Paul Smith On Thu, 25 Jan 1996, Rich Stinchcomb wrote: > Two low pressure hoses are shown to go down from the first stages and then bend > across the shoulders.
