Hi! I just received my oxy mach v and tested it right away. The LP hose connects to the inflator, but nothing happens when I press the button. then i noticed a small gap between the retractable sleeve and the inflator assembly. So I tried pushing it to close while pressing the inflate button, it finally worked.
I dont plan on using 2 hands to put air in my bc. anyone here know how to fix this, or had similar experience?
Thanks!
EDIT: I used the hose that came with the wing. Tried it on my SeaQuest Balance and it worked. The only difference I saw was that the space for the locking pins on the mach v's valve was slightly wider.

As it is new the mfg should take care of the issue under warranty. Being overseas though DIY is probably the right choice but if it is just the nipple that needs replaced contact mfg as they might be able send a replacement.
A small, flat tipped screw driver will usually work to tighten it rather than buying a schrader valve tool. Insert it to one side of the valve and turn.
I had exactly the same problem with my Zeagle Bcd and noname braided hose form LDS.
I was able to solve it by using standard LP hose which came my wing.
However I'm going to visit LDS to get a money-back.
