Weird Leak with my Hammerhead?

sensor330 · 25th December 2005, 04:17

I'm experiencing a small leak in my on the head of my HH electronic where the inhale hose screws down on the head. I thought it was the o-rings so I changed them but it stilled leaked. Then I flipped the hose around so the leaky fitting was on the t-piece then there was no leak. Any other HH users experienced this problem?

Scott,

Not specifically, but my thought would be that it is due to a small pin-hole in the hose near the fitting. By reversing the hose, you caused the other fitting to occlude the hole.

Just my ppO2's worth.

That's what I thought so I cut about 3 cm off the hose and it still leaks. Maybe I should change the whole hose?

It won't function without leaking in the reverse position?
