short MP hose - quick wear ?

ebourzeix · 11th March 2008, 21:20

I realized during deco stops that my 1-year-old O2 MP hose was dead.

According to Murphy's law, the second will follow

I'm interested by this product

Miflex Xtreme - Safety When The Pressure's On !

which seems to be more flexible.

Did somebody have the same problem and find an other/better solution ?

my short o2 hose looks like it may be about to go.

myflex hoses will be used in the near future!

seems the short hoses suffer in cold water, not in warm..
there also seems to be tolerances in the crimping of the metal sleeve, and in cold water some hoses start leaking

Saw that type of hose on a dive show in Denmark this year and they are extreme flexible. Looked really nice.
If my hoses start leaking I’ll chance to these.
Best.

Hi Eric

some guys in my teams use these hosing bring back from "Festival de la plongée Tech" a Cavalaire.

Awesome stuff. Looks like a Teflon hose with SS outside. Smooth to move.

I'll use them on my rig soon too.

You can send me a mail to get info, we buy this in Italy if I remember correctly.

A bientot.

It is not really a problem to dive with (we saw this pretty small leak only after 70 minutes) but I hate bubbles

I didn't even think about temperature factor.

Well, it was 4-5° Celsius/39.2-41 Fahrenheit (depends on electronic timers), probably enought to get some bubbles...

Thank you, Paul.

Hi,

Same problem with mine, I have just changed the diluent one and now the oxy is also leaking...Only diving in Belgium cold waters for monthes...

I consider putting a 90° elbow to have less strain on the hoses...
