In the past I’ve got the 6mm hose, put one end in boiling water for a while to soften it up, and managed to stretch it onto the regulator tails. Bit rough but nearer than reducers. Once it’s on it’s not coming off without a knife!

From the factory it was a 6mm hose stretched over the regulator connector. |

As above. I just stretched the hose to fit the reg. 20+ years later it’s fine.

Easiest way to stretch it is with a tapered end of a heel bar. Boil the hose, warm the bar with a blow lamp, a very thin smear of grease, and get to pushing and twisting. It seems to help leaving it on the bar to cool, then repeating (dip in boiling water and re-warm the bar). Slides on like a glove; no effort! On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:
