Stiletto Inflator Hose

[FishDiver]

After 400 dives the inflator hose on my Stiletto is beginning to leak. The red o-ring on the inside of the quick-release is slightly compressed. Can I replace this with a generic ring and what size do I need?

We do not service hoses at all, nor do we actually make hoses here, so I don't have an answer to your question....sorry!!!

Is the hose leaking or the quick dump valve on the shoulder?

The leak is definitely from the inside of the inflator hose.

replacement hose? I'd say on 400 dives, you got your moneys worth.

Good Luck!

when was the last time that you got your regulator serviced? replacing that O-ring is standard procedure for any regulator rebuild, if your shop isn't doing that then you need to find a new shop to service your gear as its just the visible evidence of them half-a$$'ing the rest of the job.

I believe that is a standard 010 buna o-ring, if you use nitrox you can use viton, but there really isn't any need for that. this of course is assuming that the hose itself is in good condition and not cracking or rotting, in which case, just replace the hose

You can purchase save-o-dive kits, and they generally include a ton of orings in various sizes. You could also go into your LDS, and ask them for an oring. They might charge you a buck, but so what.

After 400 dives, it may not be a bad idea just to get a new inflator hose. I think they are under $30, likely under $20.
