Tecline Proflex regulator hoses are the ideal choice for divers seeking maximum flexibility, lightness, and durability. Thanks to their braided nylon structure (Proflex), they offer superior performance compared to traditional rubber hoses, making configuration routing easier.
Technical Features:
-
Proflex Material: The external nylon braid protects the inner tube, ensuring extreme flexibility. This allows the hose to follow head movements without "pushing" on the second stage, reducing jaw fatigue.
-
Lightweight: Significantly lighter than standard hoses, they are perfect for travelers or complex configurations requiring multiple hoses.
-
Durability: The braided structure offers high resistance to abrasion, UV rays, and crushing, maintaining integrity even under mechanical stress.
-
Fittings: Standard 3/8" male (for the first stage) and 9/16" female (for the second stage) terminals, compatible with almost all regulators on the market.
Available Lengths (Tecline Catalog)
The Proflex range covers all needs, from recreational to technical (DIR) configurations:
-
0.20 m / 0.25 m: Primarily used for pressure gauges or ultra-compact rebreather configurations.
-
0.56 m / 0.60 m / 0.62 m: Ideal lengths for the primary second stage in recreational configuration or for the backup regulator (worn around the neck) in technical configuration.
-
0.70 m / 0.75 m: Standard sizes for traditional single-tank configurations.
-
0.90 m / 1.00 m: Ideal for stage bottles or Sidemount configurations.
-
1.20 m: Often used for the primary regulator in some technical or Sidemount configuration variants.
-
1.50 m / 2.10 m (Long Hose): Specific sizes for technical configuration (DIR/Twinset) for gas donation in an emergency.
Operational Advantage: The black Proflex finish is particularly appreciated for its softness, which allows the hose to bend at a very tight radius without kinking, ensuring constant airflow and a "clean" hydrodynamic configuration.
