Bcd leak at hose connection

[Snakekid97]

Hi all,

I purchased a scubapro ladyhawk. Got it set up to realize it has a leak. The leak is coming from joint where the corrugated hose meets the bladder.

Is there supposed to be a gasket there? When I unscrew it I don't see one, but I can't find anything about a scubapro hose gasket online.

Photos attached.

I have a litehawk, I can check it tomorrow afternoon and see what’s in it.

Thanks! That helped a ton. Seems I was missing #16 o-ring. I found an o-ring on my desk I was able to stretch to fit. Fills with no leaks now.

You just happen to have spare O-rings hanging out at your desk? Very funny! I have spare O-rings on a shelf behind my desk at work...LOL

Unfortunatly that looks like a Scubapro specific connection that I don't know of. All my generic inflators (don't look like that) have a gasket. But no idea what the Scubapro design needs.

My old ScubaPro Classic BCD had a gasket, as I remember. Also, if you poke around on the internet you'll find sime, for example scuba Pro BCD gasket 01.070.304 and BC Washer for Scubapro valves as part no 21.001.105. You might inquire with the Scuba Gasket guy abour your specific need.

From what I remember, scubapro uses a thick o-ring on the inside of the inflator elbow, rather than a flat gasket.
