innertube hose retainer

[DJCAREY]

Can anyone tell me what size innertubes are used for hose retainers on al40's and al80's?

[newman_diver]

I think it was 6" wheelbarrow tubes for the 40's. My guess is a car tube would work for an 80.

I think that a 14" to 15" inner tube will fit better on AL 80's.

DiveRite makes GREAT elastic hose retainers...I moved from inner tubes to these and never looked back.

Yes, but I'm the one that kept them in business. I have three each on four sets of doubles, and two each on four stages, two buddy bottles, and four deco bottles. That's 32 of them, right?

I hate calculating this stuff...reminds me where money goes...

4 sidemount 104s (2 sets) - 3 on left, 2 on right = 10
4 sidemount 85s (2 sets) - 3 on left, 2 on right = 10
2 sidemount HP100s (1 set) - 3 on left, 2 on right = 5
2 sidemount 46s (1 set) - 3 on left, 2 on right = 5
6 AL80s - 2 each = 12
4 AL40s - 2 each = 8

That's 50 in use and about a dozen waiting to be used. The only issue I have found is that the larger of DiveRite's elastic hose retainers will get overstretched after about a year of use on 104s.

What are the DR ones going for now-a-days? I need to upgrade a few tanks.
