Hose Lengths for 104s

[Leg of Salmon]

Hi CDF

I want to make sure I have the correct length hoses for what I assume will be 104s. At the moment my back is 22", 22" inflator hose and a 24" HP. Are these the standard lengths for using with 104s? At the moment I am diving with 12L European spec bottles.

Thanks

We need a little more information. Are you planning to dive in the US? Will you be using the bottles sidemount, or backmount?

Sorry.

Yes, they are backmounted, manifolded, standard hog rig. To be used in Florida (why does geography matter btw?)

Thanks

A little longer backup might be needed, 24" is the "standard" length, personally I use a 26" hose. The other lengths should be fine.

There are plenty of dive shops around the caves in Florida, my suggestion would just be to wait and see, buy what you end up needing.

For backmount, i use a 7 ft. on my primary, 26 in. backup, and i use a 26 HP as well. I believe my inflator hose is 20 in.

my setup is 7' primary, 22" secondary (with a 120 degree at the second stage), 22" inflator from the right post, and a 24" HP. if i dive dry, i add a 15" from my left post.

It doesn't, but asking about 104s made me suspect you were planning a trip to the US :-)

Yep. Doing a course with Dan Patterson in February. Thanks for the advice all.
