Hi there,
Recently I have purchased 2 inflator hoses for my drysuit from GO DIVING BELGIUM. When I was ready to jump in
I open the valve from my drysuit tank and then I hear that FSSSSSSSHHHH sound; well, nevermind, after all I´ve got the another brand new hose, 3´to substituite them and now .........
get another FSSSSSSSHHHHH, so the two brand new hoses are useless.
Although I send an emabil to GO DIVING BELGIUM and there is no answer I would like to know if there is a way to fix or repair that.
PD. THIS HAVE BEEN HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE WITH HALCYON HOSES, this it´s why decided to get from another brands.
Best
Where are they leaking? If they are leaking out the Quick Disconnect fitting, the most likley cause is a loose Schrader (tire valve) Core.
You need a longish valve core tool to snug it up. If that doesn't work you might try a new scharder core, they are common and inexpensive, virtually all auto tires use them and so do many bike inner tubes.
If the hose is leaking aorund a crimp you need a new hose.
We purchase the plated brass hose ends in bulk, with the Schrader Valve Core already installed. We had a few cases where the core was not snuggly torqued, now we check and tighten every one.
Good luck,
Tobin
