You are descring the second option I referred to.  The third option (figure 8s)
requires hanging two loops of tubing off the manifold to hold the hose.  Some
insist that the first option, wrapping the hose around the neck (once for a 5
ft. hose, twice for a 7 ft.), is good because it eliminates the need for this
bungee tubing, which after all is one more thing to break.
