Subject: FW: Hose Length - was: DIR bits & pieces
Date: Sat, 13 Nov 1999 13:43:13 -0000

 Another thing for the FAQ, but I need one so can't wait :-)

What is the correct length for the backup reg hose.
On my Cave I with JJ he said my 'Normal' length hose was 
'marginal'. :-)
It is now time to replace it.
The is a standtard one an inch or so shorter at 2 ft., but 
this still hangs over my
right shoulder.

I can get an 18" one, but I think that this might be a bit 
tight when looking 
fully left.  This is mainly due to the way the hose comes out 
of the reg.

I have seen 120 degree adaptors - not swivels -that may 
alleviate the problem, but this adds 
an o-ring.

There is of course no problem when looging right, or behind 
me by looking down my body.

The hose George has on the DIR II tape seems to be about 18" as far 
as I can tell i.e. it does not seem to reach the base of the cylinders.
