Seeking parts replacement (hose connection part) for Zeagle Ranger

[colin.wen]

Hi Scott or other zeagle user,

I am wondering where I can buy a replacement for the connection part between hose and bladder (as attached).


I bought it from a SB user (right...I am not the original owner), I dont mind to pay few buck since this Ranger BCD is awesome.

I dont think I did anything wrong to this part, I also believe the quality of Zeagle (no other problem at all after 4 years - 300 dives).

Since this BCD is still in a good condition, I think buying a replacement can make this bcd back to work.

I move back to Taiwan from Australia this year, I can not find any local dealer.

I have been searching around the internet for this part, unfortunately no luck.

I wonder if any user or Scott can give me some head-up where to get this part? (I think I can just glue it back by myself).

Cheers
Colin

Colin- you need to buy a new inner bladder, as the rings are "welded" to the bag- I paid about $100
Jeff from Zeagle should be able to assist with a dealer near you
I would NOT recommend you try & glue the bits together- Safety first- just not worth the risk!

Hi Colin (too),
Thanks for the advice.
I have contact with Jeff, however, he is not longer working for Zeagle now.

Try to chase down other source suggested by Jeff, but no response anymore.

I just checked the whole bladder and found another lower release nob has a broken plate too.

It made me think if only you and I are the only rare case or it might more common...

100$ for the bladder...well....a bit pricy.

bottom one is broken too


top one has been falling apart



the whole bladder
