Miflex HP hose question for XS

[lyonsce]

I just purchased 2 HP Miflex hoses to attach to my consoles. I attached to an Aeris and a Genesis SPG and no matter how tight or loose I attach they both leak at the bottom of the Miflex connector. I looked at the old HP hoses and they have a needle valve in the connector at the SPG side and the Miflex doesn't. Is there an adapter needed or are these hoses not compatible with my SPGs? I stumped and really disappointed since I use Miflex LP on all my stuff and I was really looking forward to the HP version. XS Scuba please help!!!

what you call a needle valve is most likely the spool. that's is always needed for the SPG. it does not come with any hose. remove it from the old one, check o-ring for wear and replace as needed and put it into the SPG where it connects to the hose. attach hose to spg and you're done.

Thanks, that's exactly what it was. I must have a senior moment....

great - can't wait for my hose to kick the bucket so that i can get one of these.

This is a timely thread. I have a wireless AI computer, but purchase a miflex HP hose and a brass pressure gauge. Since they are both new, I don't have a spool I don't think. Do I need to get one?

if you don't have one then you need one. they are about $3-5 so it'll be easy on your wallet.
