: The primary first stage is always on the right post of twin cylinders, and the concern is that contact with the roof while travelling forward in any overhead environment will tend to turn off the cylinder valve mounted on the left post, but cannot turn off the cylinder valve mounted on the right post. So, although some may think it only a small point, there does seem to be logic in recommending that the power inflation hose should connect to the right hand regulator first stage.

Well that's certainly a credible source. However, since alternative configurations are widely used (I don't have a source, outside of DIR circles it seems that people really don't recomment specific configurations) it might be better to rephrase the text along the lines of ''Although many configurations are possible, Jarrod and Jablonksi recommend ...'' instead of the rather blunt "this is good practice". |

Source for regulator setup
I'd like to see a source for the following quote from this article:
- Good practice—two unfreezing regulators arranged as follows: first stage number 1 with primary second stage, BCD inflation hose and Submersible Pressure Gauges, first stage number 2 with secondary second stage (octopus), dry suit inflation hose and Submersible Pressure Gauges.
As placing the BCD inflation hose on the same first stage as the primary second stage seems contrary to common sense. 78.245.228.100 (talk) 16:45, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- I can help you with a source for part of that:
- Jablonski, Jarrod (2006). Doing it Right: The Fundamentals of Better Diving. Global Underwater Explorers. p. 92. ISBN 0971326703.
To provide additional redundancy when using two first stages, the inflator hose should always be run from the right post. This requirement is illustrated in the case of a diver's left post rolling off or breaking. If the inflator is run from the left post, the diver will simultaneously lose not only the use of the backup regulator around the neck but also the ability to inflate the BC. These two problems together could be inordinately compounded by an out-of-air situation in which a diver would not only be without the means of controlling his/her buoyancy but would also be deprived of the use of a third regulator
