HP Hose Failure

[The Chairman]

No you are not an instructor.

I am now.

I think this thread has reached a level of blowhardery and assholery

I don't know: I've learned some things. Few hoses are branded very well, and it's good to know how they're supposed to be made. Especial thanks to @Tanks A Lot for a lucid, down to earth discussion in good faith. No condescension. No ego driven berating. Good stuff.

Typical scubaboard, sigh

Typical internet. It's not just SB. People don't react very well to tudes.

I will stand by my earlier statement: all hoses will fail sooner or later. I have replaced hoses before they leaked simply because I didn't like how they looked or felt. I've seen far, far, far more o-ring failures, especially the spool valve.

Sry, I'll write at a third grade level next time.

Anyway in order to continue with my reputation of contributory renown I will start at the other end

and suggest with a photo that it is best to stay away from flippy floppy hoses with fittings like this

Dude, boss
Given the way you lot have, and continue to butcher the English language, almost on a par with the British
I suggest that to attain my exalted level of grade 3 your schools must start somewhere in grade negative 9

with due respect

What your PADI and SDI instructors et al don't tell you is that your HP hose made by a company called Mirflex is a company better known for toilet hose and washing machine hose as stated I earlier and an uncomfortable reminder to some of facts that they don't like young divers knowing about.

Inlet hose for household electrical appliances, flexible and no leak

Our range of inlet hose for household appliances is made up of thermoplastic materials.

www.miflex.com

Further the Mirflex recall of breathing interstage hose so popular with the recreational masses which incidentally was also a Mirflex product and another the made for profit piece of short life garbage for the scuba shops can be found here:

And if that's not enough the Mirflex high pressure hose recall can be found here.
from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission

XS Scuba Recalls Miflex High Pressure Diving Hoses Due to Drowning Hazard

Consumers should immediately stop using the hoses and contact XS Scuba to receive instructions for obtaining a free replacement hose.

www.cpsc.gov

189 Failures Lead to Recall of 17,000 Miflex Hoses: Undercurrent 05/2012

So that's one company who brand names stuff for many of your scuba retail suppliers and with multiple government recalls on both the high pressure and low interstage pressure hoses they supply.

Then we have as another example from the OP. This hose is manufactured from the likes of China and in this case Taiwan to to pathetic claimed so called standard of EN250. Now older divers will tell you that rubber hose is better when in fact that position was only met when divers hose was made in America by the well respected Gates Rubber company to the recognised standard SAE100 R3 to which the hose in this post is clearly not.

If you are going to bitch about something, at least spell it right. It is Miflex, not Mirflex. Duh.
