Old Rec Wing with leaky inflator

[NeedABiggerBoat]

I have a Dive Rite Rec Wing that is about 7 years old and has always leaked air from the connection where the inflator hose meets the wing itself. I have bought numerous gaskets over the years but after the first dive with a new gasket, the leak returns. Is this a common problem with this particular wing? Any thoughts on a remedy? Thicker gasket perhaps? Thanks for any thoughts SB!

So you install a new gasket, its fine for one dive, then starts leaking? Hmmm...after the first dive, have you ever tried checking to see if the elbow is loose? Maybe using the wing, maybe tugging a bit on the inflator hose, is causing the elbow to loosen up a bit.

BTW, this is something that dive rite would almost certainly fix for you if you sent it to them.
