Hose Routing For a Meg-Neoprene Lungs

tflaris · 15th July 2008, 19:53

Meg Divers-
I have been through the gallery but had really found what I was looking for.

In one interesting pic in the gallery the diver attached both Pressure gauges/hoses together and had them accessible on his right hand side hip D Ring.

Are there any Meg divers using the neoprene lungs that can post some pics of their setup especially hose routing. Interested in a streamlined setup with minimal hardware.

The second handset do you wear it or stow it? If you stow it what works for you?

Thanks for your time

My setup is tore down, so no pics right now.... so I'll try to describe....

a> Large button SPG's on the reg's... no hoses...
b> Fordflow for hose routing (thu the camstrap slots in wing, up over top of plate)
c> Secondary is tucked into a DR pocket on right hip. Light goes 2nd.
d> O2 manual & ADV hoses go up, to the inside of the T to keep them in tight, then down.

Sorry no pics available at this time, but here goes.
same as netmage fordflow hose routing plus spg hose.
spg over the shoulder with a small bolt snap attached near the guage.
It is routed under the lung and the bolt snap is then attached to a quick link on the bottom of the lung's webbing. The lung is secured to the plate with quick links and bolt snaps. The bottom with a bungee permanently attached to the right lungs bottom webbing, then routed through the loop on the crotch strap and snapped to the webbing of the left lung through a quick link.
The secondary has a bolt snap which is attached to the bottom quick link on the left lung.
The O2 manual add hose is routed around the back and through a thin bungee loop aroung the left cannister hose at the T.
The ADV hose and wing inflation are secured to the above bungee on the T.

This works for me with my neoprene lungs, the SPG hoses are snapped to the lung in the back of the lungs with the the snapped webbing that comes with them.
My unit is now disassembled and drying and next time I reassemble it which will be in a couple of days for the weekend I will take photos if you wish.

Does routing the hoses under the counter lung make sense or is the bend to the connection point (manaul addition valves) to sharp.

Yes makes sense, however it does create a large loop that interferes with
your gauges when you go to read them, if you don't mind this then no problem
