Hello everybody.

I want to change my old breathing hoses (dolphin) with a breathing hoses like the rb80 and another models ones. The hoses I mean are green with a kind of a spring on it.

Does anybody knows who is the manufacturer of this hoses. I think this kind of houses should not be very expensive but seller wants a lot of money for it.

thanks in advance

VM

Hi VM,

Those " Greenie " hoses are actually Mil-Spec. breathing hoses for military application like Air Force for example. I think they are designed to withstand nuclear blasts

(very tough). If you don't mind having a smaller diameter hoses you can always source it from military-surplus shop like the one I got in the pic. From what I know the Manufacturers - R.E.Darling / Herbert Cooper only sell you bulk

not to mention it is rather expensive.

The set I have is 30" in lenght with a 1-1/4" O/D and hoses end of 7/8" I/D .
The good part is no hose wieghts required as the ss spring is a weight by itself.

Hope this help.
