Product Information

The Dive Rite Hose Clip Retainer (SKU AC2019) is a reusable bungee-and-tab accessory that secures a bolt snap to a hose, gauge, or dive light without tying the snap on. The bungee loop passes through the snap's eyelet, stretches around the hose, and hooks over a small tab to lock in place, so nothing is knotted and nothing is cut off with a blade.

Who it is for

It is for divers who clip off a regulator, an SPG, or a light and want the snap held in a predictable spot. It also suits recreational divers who are tidying up a configuration and would rather not permanently knot or cable-tie a bolt snap to a hose. Because the retainer adjusts in seconds and can be reused on a different piece of gear, it works well for divers who reconfigure their kit between dives or dive styles.

Key details

  • Bungee loop with a tab locking system, no knots and no cable ties.
  • Can be removed quickly in an emergency, then reused.
  • Dive Rite notes the retainer can be slid along the hose if the bolt snap cannot be unclipped.
  • Some divers add a twist in the retainer to take up slack.
  • Inexpensive enough that many divers keep a dozen in the dive kit.
  • Dive Rite SKU AC2019, listed under Hoses and Hardware.

Compatibility and sizing

Use it with bolt snaps on regulator hoses, SPGs and gauges, and dive lights. The snap's eyelet needs to accept the bungee loop. The loop stretches around the hose or light body and hooks over the tab to lock the snap in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Dive Rite Hose Clip Retainer attach a bolt snap to a hose?

Pass the bungee loop through the bolt snap's eyelet, stretch the loop around the hose, then bring it over the small tab to lock it. Nothing is knotted or cable-tied, so the snap is held in place but still adjustable. If there is extra slack, some divers add a twist in the retainer to take it up, which is noted in Dive Rite's own FAQ.

Can it be removed in an emergency?

Yes. Because the retainer uses a bungee loop over a tab rather than a knot or zip tie, it can be removed quickly in an emergency and then reused on another piece of gear. Dive Rite also notes that if the bolt snap itself cannot be unclipped, the retainer can simply be slid along the hose to free up the snap.

What can I use the Hose Clip Retainer on besides a regulator hose?

It is used with bolt snaps on regulator hoses, SPGs and gauges, and dive lights. Any of those attachment points where the snap's eyelet accepts the bungee loop and the loop can stretch around the hose or body will work. Because it is reusable, the same retainer can move between a hose, a gauge, and a light as you reconfigure your kit.

How many should I buy?

Many divers keep several on hand. Dive Rite describes it as inexpensive enough to keep a dozen in a dive kit. The part number is AC2019 if you are ordering replacements or spares.
