Best way to route an oxygen line

[Utah20Gflyer]

Hello fellow aviators.

I recently started to use an oxygen concentrator to keep me from experiencing the mild hypoxia one experiences while cruising in the 10k-13k altitudes I normally use.   I currently route the oxygen line around the back of my chair which keeps it fairly out of the way but it does catch on the back of my chair which pulls the cannula out of position on my face.  Not the end of the world but it’s annoying and a distraction.  
 

So my question is how do those of you who regularly use oxygen route your oxygen line?  I’m thinking having it come down from the ceiling with a bit of slack is the way to go.  I could mount a clip to the ceiling pretty easily.  
 

My review of using an Inogen G3 oxygen concentrator is that I feel much less fatigued after my flying trips.  As a result I plan on continuing to use it going forward and would like to get the setup as trouble free as possible. 
 

Thanks

So, I use a cannula and it can be rigged two ways. Feed from the back over the ears or feed from the front around the ears. I prefer the latter. It doesn’t snag as much when you move around.

Thanks, I think I’ll give this a try next flight.

Thanks for the suggestion.  These look helpful for O2 line management.

For starters, use a boom cannula. It sends the main o2 line off the back of your headset instead of from your chest. It certainly feels less cluttered that way.
