I've had two failures this year with the Schrader valve in two Miflex LP inflator hoses.
The first was last May when I was in Bali, resolved quickly by changing the hose to a normal rubber hose. On my way home I bought another Miflex hose in Singapore.
Yesterday when gearing up using a different regulator set, the Miflex LP inflator hose used for my drysuit started leaking when the gas was turned on. Removed the hose and plugged the first stage, not an issue.
When I got home I remove the Schrader valve and replaced it with one from another Rubber LP inflator hose, problem solved.
Has anyone else had issues with the Schrader valves in Milflex hoses?
Both hoses are probably three years old. I've never had an issue before with an LP hose, Miflex or other make.
