hose weights

[JohnDuncan]

I have a KISS but I have been informed that loop hose weights for Draeger hoses will fit the KISS standard ones, anyone help with a supplier in the UK?

All of these hose weights will work:

• Draeger
• AP Valve
• Oxycheq (ring)

So whichever easiest to get...

Someone posted a recommendation on welded rings from mcmaster carr. They wind up being about $2.00 each. About 10 per pound. They work great. I cant find the post, but when I get home I can post the item number.

I listed the rings under the KISS gallery section.

Buying rings from Golem/Oxycheq might come out cheaper. Don't know about the freight.

Right you are Ken. I bought those And the oxy ones. The McMC's are thicker, heavier, and IMHO nicer.

I was tols that the AP ones might damage the hoses as they are slightly different size

In my best memory I think the AP hose is smaller diam. than the KISS hose. The McMaster rings fit well and as Babar kindly mentioned / experimented are heavier than the Oxy/Golem rings.

Darn...I should have marketed the McMaster rings as Ken specials and made .10 off of each.:p

Expensive in comparison but nearly trade for the UK ex delivery.

Here's a pic. of YBOD rings on a CK hose. Looks like a tighter fit...but they do fit.

I bought some from Rob in the below thread and I'm pretty happy with them...
