Diving the razor is really NBD. Gearing up standing in shallow water is also NBD. Gearing up floating on the surface is a royal pita. Hp100s are heavy SOBs hanging on gear lines and finding the rear dring with hands frozen in 43F water is ugly. Takes friggin forever to sort all that crap out losing thermal units all the time.

Re: 90 deg reg elbow
Hmmmm....I finally clicked on this thread out of curiosity. After all, what could there POSSIBLY be to discuss for 4 pages in a thread inquiring about a "90 degree reg elbow"????
I see that NWDC is once again living up to its reputation for thread-jacks....but is it REALLY a thread-jack when the orriginal poster actively participates?
Carry on, ladies and gentlemen!

Re: 90 deg reg elbow
Believe it or not I bought the $12 non-swivel elbow from Piranah.
Tried it with a 28" reg hose, ack way too short!
Tried it with a 37" reg hose, ack way too long!
I don't have the "just right" length reg hose (32"?) to use the elbow so I took it off for now.

Re: 90 deg reg elbow
How did you rig it? I'm a little bit bigger than you, and a 28" works for me on my DST, coming off the "top" of the reg when it's horizontal, reg facing up towards me.CaptnJack wrote:Believe it or not I bought the $12 non-swivel elbow from Piranah.

Edite ** I may have a 32" hose in my bin at home, I'll look.

Re: 90 deg reg elbow
Its on a side port of a SP mk20. (swivel)
My issue with the 28" may not have been the hose. I tightened up the neck bungie after the one dive with the 28" hose and that may keep the reg closer. But I changed hose length at the same time.
Don't think I actually need the elbow honestly. I am leaving it off but using the 37" hose for now. I am also getting some thicker bungie for the neck. 1/4" is rather flimsy so I am upsizing to 5/16"

Re: 90 deg reg elbow
I'd have to order a "real" hose once I got the exact size anyway. No way I'm taking those things in any kind of overhead. I might if it were MX and I could carry a wrench.

I'd rather leave the elbow off actually. Less is more.

Re: 90 deg reg elbow
Having done a couple of dives with Richard in his Razor, I guess I'm qualified as an expert now...
Honestly, I don't see the need for the elbows, fittings, etc. Get the proper length hose, and route it like you would a stage or deco bottle.
I see the necessity for keeping it super tight if you're using sm for its original purpose of negotiating tight restrictions. But for open water diving, or in Richard's case of it being a matter of the logistics/distance of hiking the tanks in and not restrictions, just get the proper length hose and be done with it.
