My apologies if I've posted this publicly before, but someone was
asking:

I use DIN MK 20's rigged as follows:

Both 1st stages are attached to the manifold so that the swivel ends
point inwards, about 30 degrees below the horizontal. (I have a thing
for symmetry).  Left post has HP hose down to 
gauge at left hip d-ring.  Backup reg hose comes across (behind head)
from the port on the 
swivel end.  When I use back-gas for suit inflation, LP hose comes down
from this 1st stage, parallel to the HP hose and under my left arm. 
The swivel is great for this, as the hose moves slightly with your
arm/torso movement, but I still put strain reliefs on all hoses.  Right
post has long hose routed down behind wing, etc.  Inflator hose comes
from port on end 
of swivel, across to inflator on left shoulder.
