I am in the process to connect a flow stop to my ADV, have you cut down the hose the length of shut off valve ?

Hi Pierre,

I do not use the flowstop on the ADV as I have had leaks on a number of the ones I have got for my students.

In fact I have one that is permanently closed that I fit to a students unit on their Mod 1 to simulate ADV failure and it leaks like a sieve.

I find it much simpler to shut-off the diluent cylinder in the event of a freeflow and hence do not bother with the flowstop.

I see the flowstop as a solution to a problem that does not exist.

However, I fully agree with Sandman. Do not shorten the hose just push the surplus back into the box, for the day when you realise I was right about it leaking and throw the feckin thing out!

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.
