Fixing a direct feed...
Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of disassembling the direct feed below. An o-ring went in the very end (leading to a very wet dive!) and I have to get anoter one in there! Have tried turning the nut with no joy. Any ideas??

I found this in the new post section.

Sure the o-ring is to blame? surely there would have been a flood of gas bubbles if the o-ring was not sealing properly.

Correct. The o-ring can be changed with a dentist's pick or some such thing - be carefil not to scratch the brass too much.

However, as jb2cool says, the o-ring failing usually causes bubbling from the joint.

Check that the valve is secure in the suit first.

Yeah, the valve was secure on the suit - when I turned the air on the air came lashing out the ned of the hose. Think I got it fixed by partially putting the o-ring in and then putting it on the suit - that put it properly in the hose. I'll know after the weekend!!

Was the hose attached to the suit when the air came out of the end?
If air comes out before you attach it to the suit, then it's likely to be the schraeder (sp?) valve in the end that is loose or faulty.

you can get shrader valves & a shrader tool to get em out and stick em back in for a couple of quid at halfords. the toold needs modding for use in a DF (chop off the stubs on the side and put a slot in the top so you can turn it with a screwdriver) - all quite straightforward to do.
