HP hoses with 3/8" fitting

Sun Sep 09, 2007 10:11 am

Went and checked out a new to me LDS (is it still an LDS if you have to drive over 90 minuets?). Kinda a shock to see over fifty tanks and every last one with a DIN valve. Any way he was happy to talk to me about taking a Nitrox class. Then I asked him about hoses to mount a gauge on PRAMs and older Conshelfs-Conshelves? Not on hand but could be ordered costom made, no idea the cost, not even sure of the length I want yet. The hoses on my old Conshelfs are 34 inch over all, still to new at this to know the lenght I'dd like best.

I had a dozen HP hoses special ordered around a year ago with the 3/8" male fitting. They were around $5.00 or so more expensive than the typical 7/16" fitting. If you need more info let me know.

I had them made to 30", and they work very well with various regs.

Or, just get the adapter from DiveRite to take 3/8 to 7/16.
