SPG Leak?

[Paula Trounce]

Hi.
I've just bought a new SPG and Hose. Sometimes it doesn't seem to seal properly when i first pressurise. I need to give it a little turn or wiggle, then it seems fine. I've checked the seals and they look good to me.
Is this normal?
It's all new Gauge and hose. See video if i that works.
TIA.
Paula

Just to eliminate the easiest... is the swivel installed?

Oh wait. I just put the old swivel in and that seems ok. I'm sure i tried that.
Sorry!

Change the spool.
Have couple as spare.
Bring it back to the shop and exchange it for a new one.

But a few on dive gear express as spares ($5). Share with friends on dive trips. These wear out frequently and start to bubble.

Nice to find out at home and not on a boat!

Those two little o-rings on the HP spool also need a little lubrication. Careful not to get it in the holes on the ends.

A small amount of food-grade silicone grease smeared on the O-rings before installing.
