Not sure if this is the right spot to ask this but here goes... forgive me if I mess up some of the terminology, I'm still a n0ob.
My son and I did a quick test dive in the pool today with some new gear. I noticed a small leak coming from the SPG so I pulled it off, uninstalled/reinstalled it and now I've got a big leak coming from the fitting.
It looks like the fitting has a sleeve that has a lot of play in it and that's where the air is leaking.
It *seems* like maybe the male end of the gauge should be a little longer (rimshot) so that it puts pressure on the leave thus seating everything nice and tight but that doesn't explain why there was a tiny leak to begin with and now a much larger leak...
...or there was supposed to be a little compression fitting (think liquid plumbing) that I lost somewhere along the way.
Any ideas?
