Hose Hanger 20180917

3D Model

I designed this hanger to help rebreather divers dry the loop hose after cleaning. If you don’t completely disassemble the inhale hose, exhale hose, and DSV/BOV for cleaning, it can be easy for moisture to pool internally. Hanging the hose vertically, with the DSV open and the exhale side down will allow water to drip out of the unit, in the direction of flow determined by the mushroom valves. However, given the weight of the DSV/BOV as well as any additional hose weights, this method has a tendency to stretch out the inhale hose, as it supports more weight.

The hose hanger uses a simple loop of cave line or other string to take the weight off the upper portion of the loop as it hangs vertically, adjustable for any length. The string supports the hose by the HUD holder or any other attachment point. While originally designed for the JJ CCR, it can be used on any model with an appropriate hose diameter (1 5/8 inches or less between corrugations, to fit in the slot) and a connection flange.
