we're all friends here... let's talk p valves and sensitive bits...

This was tremendously helpful. But having some challenges and I can see how now this will address most of them.

Finally found an issue with trigon. Their hose is stupid and prone to difficult to find leaks. It can split along the spiral hose and will only show up if removed and bent on all directions.

Norprene here I come... been chasing a slight leak from my trigon the last few dives and didn't have any luck. When removed from the suit I could block the outlet and it would hold pressure but I'd still end up with a bit of wet at the end of my dive. Reset my connections and zip tied them to ensure it was tight. Then Wednesday I was flushing and had pulled the tube up a little bit when connecting my bottle. My foot got wet and cold. The damn trigon spiral wrapped hose had fully separated and given up... there were a couple other splits I found when inspecting it and slightly bending it. I cut out the bad section and added a new M/F dry break to get the hose happy while I wait on a new one to arrive.

Haven’t seen that yet, have you checked the recall one the inner part of the trigon?

Not yet. I *think* mine is the newer version though. Once I spliced that pos hose back together my dive was dry and without issue again. Pretty sure a small split was the reason for the wet season and I exacerbated it by not being as nice to my stuff as I possibly should be.

This is what the old one looks like, I did get a new hose with the upgrade.

i replaced mine with fuel line hose -pretty sure my urine isn't that strong to be a problem
