Read through this for the fittings. Not sure what the availability will be in your area, but I’m sure you can find something comparable.

Gauntlet hose connectors

I went to Lowe's today to search for the brass fittings, and of course I didn't bring a picture with me. When I go back later, what part am I looking for? Do we have a part number or anything?

You only need about 1 meter of the hose.

Thought there are 3 pipes that go on the Gauntlet. 2 tie into suit, one to jet pack, or am I totally wrong lol, thanks

But where do they go? Is it just one to the jet pack and 2 hide under the Flight suit? I see 3 pipes, 2 go under arm and into flack jacket, so does the upper gauntlet one go to the Jet pack, or do all 3 make it the Jet pack

For ROTJ ALL three of the hoses go under the "Short Sleeve" of the Flight Suit.

Here is my Hose setup. (Everyone does it differently) I used picture hanger and bolted them onto the hose itself. as shown below...

But here is an "Arkady" ROTJ Flight Suit, she makes it so that you can easily hook it up. I wasn't sure how she meant for it to use the lower snap on coupling, so I devised my own method by using an S-Carabiner as shown below....

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Ok. So 2 hide in the shut after going up the outer forearm, under the sleeve if the Flack suit. Do they stop there? but which comes over the shoulder, down the side & into the jet pack?

Nope.....ALL three hoses go under the short Sleeve and stop there. They don't go any further.

Thanks, brilliant. But do you have one hooked to them to the jet pack?

-Iron

So which do you hook from to the jet pack?

 

[Swwolf36]

Again, No hose goes to the Jet Pack.
The just go under that Short Sleeve of the Flight Suit and do not go any further.

Thanks,

[Swwolf36]

I've marked the pipe I think goes to the jetpack. Is this correct. And the one I've circled is that a tube of anything, ot part of the Wookie hair? Many thanks again

 

[Irongladiator]

Yeah the hoses do NOT get routed that way.
They stop about 3 to 4 inches past entry into the Short Sleeve.

Thanks,

Those are the braids. No hoses hook up to the jet pack.

Great stuff. So how much in total for those lengths, 5mtrs, 3 mtrs about 1 mtr each or allow 2mtrs per pipe?. Those connections to hook up, what are they? And is there a universal name for the hose connections to the gauntlet. I. In UK so USA are different. GAIN THNX

 

[ShortFuse]

35-40cm each should be long enough. It will depend on the length of your arm. No universal names for those fittings, as far as I know. You will just have to find something comparable to the parts in the thread I posted for you earlier.

Did the ESB hoses hook up to the pack? Or was it only one of the pre-pro versions?

This is what I am currently playing around with, these are Man Of War gauntlets. I'll probably use the stock white pipe to attach the hose but the gold hose connectors I think will be fine if you went with metal pipes and fittings.
