I’ve been working on a side, Mount pony bottle set up and the 6 inch high-pressure hose is leaking at the swivel I called scuba.com and they said it sounds like it’s defective and sent me out another hose and it got to my house in two days I went to install it and the exact same problem. I don’t think I’m doing something wrong I have installed hoses at least a dozen times and it is not a problem with the male or female connection any recommendations?
 
Do you have a spool in-between the hose and the SPG?
I read the description and it didn’t say that one was not included. I assumed it was included, but I’m assuming you’re probably right I didn’t think of that. I usually don’t mess with high-pressure hoses. I only really swap out my regulator hoses or inflator hoses.

I don't know what description you are referring to, but you do NOT need a swivel at the hose-to-regulator end of the HP hose. You DO need a swivel at the SPG end of the HP hose; it is part of the swivel mechanism. Think of it as part of the SPG, not as part of the hose.
 
The spool is required
I meant to say “included” all the other ones said not included, and I didn’t wanna have to figure out which one I needed so I picked that one that didn’t mention anything about a spool

Yeah, I never said anything about hose to regulator. I said I have plenty of experience, swapping out regulator hoses and low pressure inflator hoses but none when it comes to high pressure hoses. I only recently started doing my own maintenance whenever I completely reconfigured my back mount regulator to make it long house primary and I love it 10 times more than my old set up, which is just the basic back amount that everybody starts on
 
Thanks to everybody that helped if anybody knows what type of spool I need for a XS scuba 6 inch high pressure hose. Let me know please

What are you talking about? An SPG purchase? A hose purchase?

The hose most of them say no swivel/spool included I read the description thoroughly before purchasing the hose and it had no mention of it not being included so I assumed it was built in like I said I don’t have any real experience with high pressure roses/SPG’s I have a fair amount of experience with regulator and regulator hoses and inflator hoses, but at least I know now
