I have a bag of the "hose hats" at the store. I can give you a couple for you guys to try.

I doubt if a Si Tech hose would be crapping out so easily, their stuff is well built.
There are a lot of cheap Chinese hoses out there that sell for almost half the price so a lot of outfits are cutting corners.
If you have a Si Tech valve you can always convert it to the CEJN fitting, they're expensive but they're way more reliable, easy to connect & disconnect with 1 hand. (the CEJN is actually a hydraulic fitting, made to operate at much higher pressure)
Their ferrule is already shaped like a hose hat.

What on earth is a "hose hat" ?


FWIW i changed both my drysuit inflators to use the same connector as my wing. Makes it far easier with spares, field repairs and so on.

Seriously folks, can customer service get any better?

Thanks Paul. I'll pick a couple up next time I'm in.
