I am in the process of setting up a gast 263 hookah system off a honda. Gx160 I was wondering how you have the hoses and fittings setup
1. Quick connect to braided stainless steel whip (1/4 inch or 3/8?) to metal resivour tank

2 divers do a t one to gauge one to diver 1 and another to diver 2

where do you put the air filter?

What regulator do you use with the gast 263

I have a 50 psi check valve on the compressor

Thanks for all the help

Way we've been diving Gast for 40 years (ykkks) is either SS whip (silicon linied) or we've been using green oxygen hose available at welding shops and crimped 5/16" Ox net on end. Believe it or not reservoir(s) we've used are coke-cola syrup tanks. They are SS and made by Coirnelius and handle pressure fine and if you unthread the fitting a 5/16" Ox fitting threads right on. They have that access port on top that's secured with a cam-mechanism and allows you access to dump moisture and clean-out. The quick-disconnect fittings (believe it or not but they don't rust)sold at Harbor Freight which are 1/4" ips are what we use to disconnect hoses. They also sell a brass manifold fitting for multiple hoses.
