Lp ports

[SlvrDragon50]

Ive seen regulators with like four lp ports, but I've never seen all of them being used nor can I think of ways how to use them.

Main Reg
Octo
BCD Inflater hose
Dry Suit inflater

My reg only has 2 lp ports. I use an air2 to compensate. I would think about getting a newer reg but this one works great and I found it inside a box that came with a car I bought a couple years prior, heh.

[SlvrDragon50]

ah.

Explains why... Dry suit in FL= instant hyperthermia

An then he two HP ports would be a computer and SPG?

[abcitydiver]

Main Reg
Octo
Inflator
and the hose that I run which has my divealert plus at the end.
(I have a mares airtrim, and dont like the placement of the divealert on the inflator line.)

Having more ports means you can play with the routing of your hoses easier.

Some folks carry a dedicated lp hose to inflate a DSMB

I would think the SPG and computer would be in the same console on a single HP hose. This was the case for my Aeris Veo 250 console. As previously mentioned, may help the diver better position that line.

I have this is as well, but it is multi-purpose. My DSMB is my Little Miss Spanky Blow-up doll. Great flotation device as well. I get some strange looks from other divers. Don't know why.

For thins like the aeros atmos pro though, it looks like it uses its own hose

And I though you could just use a reg to easily inflate a sausage

I have also seen folks using one of the ports for the transmitter on a hoseless air-integrated dive computer and then using another for a back-up SPG.
