So there I was, having no end of issues trying to site my fill point when I noticed that the join where the braiding meets the crimp on the shaft is very loose. But only one end.

I have just sealed it all in too!

Not ready for testing yet.

Do we think we have a problem?

Not a definitive answer as I am NOT an expert on such things, but a couple of things come to my (simple) mind; Rolling Eyes

a) give Gaslow a ring - they are VERY helpful and will give you an instant answer I am sure, and the horse's mouth is by far the best reassurance......

b) is it possible that it is 'O' ring sealed? If so there can be movement while it is not under pressure and it will tighten when pressure is applied by use.

As I say, not a definitive YES / NO answer, but those would be my thoughts until someone else confirmed one way or another.... Very Happy

Hi Trev,

Been out and compared ours and both ends are solid. I don't know if it will be a problem, but ours definitely doesn't move.

As above, Gaslow are awesome when it comes to ringing them for advice.

Thanks.

I am working to a deadline. Gaslow not open until Monday. I am at work all next week and then away in the van.

Might have to test the setup in the morning and if the hose leaks, drive around, find a replacement and send the entire kit back to Hamiltons Gas.

I believe the outer braid is purely mechanical protection and the inner is convoluted(which gives it its flexibility) stainless steel pipe. Should be OK IMHO

As you can see from the construction detail

Thanks Techno.

I am just concerned that one end moves, the other does not.

I will update when I know more.

Thanks for the reply.

From memory I'm sure one of the bottle connection hoses of my existing ones does but it's not a leak issue just imperfect (quality control/inspection) failure again.
Should not be leaving the factory like that! just like my bottle with loose supply valve WTF? Rolling Eyes

Hi tenymob,

I have just fitted my 5th gaslow system in my new van. One end was just like yours. I sprayed it with the gas leak spray and then checked it with the brush and foamy washing up liquid. Result ...... no leak. It would appear to be alright. but a phone call to gaslow may set your mind at rest.

Cheers Ned

A friend had that collar loose on one of their ends of a brand new installation

Gaslow said on a telephone call that this was perfectly ok!

You naturally think that this should be crimped tight but Gaslow were not concerned but I would still give them a ring to double check

most are very tight so why the odd few loose ?
