The Hogarthian Stage Strap Kit includes all the items needed to configure a stage or deco bottle consistent with the DIR philosophy style of diving. This design incorporates black braided nylon cord threaded through black rubber fuel hose to create position configurable attachment points for the two stainless steel medium bolt snaps with large eyes. The strap is secured to the base of the cylinder with a stainless steel clamp sheathed with tubular webbing. The hose retainer is a { 2 in | 5 cm } wide EPDM elastic band.

• Small fits cylinders approximately {5.25 in | 14 cm} in diameter (AL-30, AL-40, LP-45, LP-50; Metric: 5L, 7L)
• Large fits cylinders approximately {7.25 in | 18 cm} in diameter (LP-72, LP-80, AL-80, HP-80, LP-85, HP-100; Metric: 9L, 10.5L, 12.2L)

Best practice is to also dedicate your cylinder to a specific mix with a pair of MOD Decals.

This grade clamp is widely used in automotive hose clamping applications, although not usually seen in all stainless steel. Popularized in diving for use with hogarthian (aka DIR) stage strap assemblies, when using these inexpensive automotive hose clamps for securing cylinder stage straps you must avoid using the strap as a carry handle otherwise properly tightened clamps will eventually move and the strap will loosen. Over tightening the clamps in an attempt to prevent the strap from loosening will damage the clamp by either breaking the grooves or stripping the screw. Always carry the tank by the valve, because using the hose as a carry handle will cause the rigging to become loose and necessitate readjustment.
