Stage Bottle Rigging
 
Basic question about what you use in rigs for stage bottles..

Home made or store bought?

I use the Halcyon rigging kits. If find they work well and seem to be holding up so far. Having said that the more bottles you have the more kits you need so you may want to look at making your own to save a few bucks. I know there are some members here who make their own maybe they will post on whats involved in making them.

If you want to rig your tanks yourself, here you will find the instructions.
Having said that, once you buy all the hardware and calculate your time, you may just go out and buy a rigging set. At least that's what i do, YMMV.

I'm not typically one for DIY but I've always done my own stage rigging. No kits.

follow the site oren posted. Thats what I use, and buy everything in bulk. nylon rope is cheap, fuel hose is cheap, bolt snaps from nix dog collars(roughly $6 a clip), inner tube - tire place,

Its much easier just to get the rigging kit when you buy the bottle..It comes with everything you need including MOD stickers...

Yep... I buy the kit as well...

Which stage kits are you guys getting? Dive Rite/Halcyon/Salvo?

Jen 01-05-2009 10:50 PM

I tend to just get the kit. By the time you shell out the extra $12 + tax and the running around...you can have the kit all in one bag for around $55-60+tax. Halcyon or Salvo....don't get the Dive-Rite. Its fine as a temp, but is very limiting you'll find down the road.

Chantelle 01-05-2009 10:50 PM

I get the Halcyon ones, as the clips are a good size. I'm not a fan of the DR kits, as they have the big arsed brass clips.
