Miflex High Pressure Hose Recall

[goldwngguy]

Sent mine back and got the replacement in less than 10 days. New one is about 1/3 heaftier.

Mine failed on 8th dive (cave dives) but thankfully between dives. dive gear express paid the shipping both ways. They ROCK!!!! This was back in November before the recall.

"XS Scuba has received reports of 189 hose failures"

189/17,000=0.01% not 1% - although I know there were more failures that weren't reported

I don't see what difference seperating would make

I'm hoping you aren't the one that does calculations for gas management on your team...

Sent 2 Miflex HP hoses in about a week ago, just received the replacements. The timing was right for the recall as one of the hoses burst while turning on the tank during my recent Bonaire trip.

My error was pointed out in post #9... the very next post. But thanks for playing anyway

And again in other posts and unacknowledged by you until post #45... 36 posts later.

The CPSC has published the report that I made about my ruptured Scuba Choice HP hose, on their web site. Saferproducts.gov | Incident Report Details I've been hoping for a product recall, but this is good progress. This is a rubber hose with the same 11Q3 date stamp as the recalled Miflex hoses, so it came from the same factory (Li Chung plastic Co., Ltd.) and was manufactured at the same time. I have contacted Scuba Choice in Chino, California, but I've received no reply. The hose came off of the male connector at the crimp, just before a dive.

You need to revise that statement, this is not a Miflex product nor do Li Chung have any dealings with Miflex.
Look I'm not a great fan boy of Miflex goodness knows Ive had numerous run in's with those clowns but accuracy is required in any statement, and this is not a Miflex product, in hose or fitting or crimp method.

The 11Q3 marking is simply the date of manufacture 2011 third quarter.
Futher Miflex would not recognise SAE 100R7 as a relivent constuction standard (more's the pity)
While I would also doubt neither is the Li Chung Junk.

If you need to look at blame and responsibility just dig out the DEMA 106 standards commitee reccomendations and the frankly inadequate, ill educated and poorly worded standard those clowns allowed as suitable manufacturing inspection and test procedures for "sports" divers equipment.

I would'nt let them loose designing the colour of a snorkel, let also a regulator standard the result of which your now sadly experiencing.

Further for general information here is the first inept sales pitch from Mifex back in 17th January 2008
and I am still waiting for the answers. This feasco has been going on for years.
Only difference back then I was polite.

Hello from Miflex Hoses

I stand corrected and have made a small change to this. The CPSC has published the report that I made about my ruptured Scuba Choice HP hose, on their web site.
