Leaky fill nipple

[danrandon]

guys, i have an air bottle and the fill nipple is leaking from the centre of the nipple and not the thread. any way of sorting this or can i buy a new nipple. if so where can i get one

What make is the air system, as you need a new o-ring on the check valve, or sometimes a new check valve.

Thanks Tom,

PMI in the states could only suggest 2 places in germany and a small place in poland.

They can be repaired, but should be cheap to replace.

try filling the bottle up again at a tourney, that resealed mine when it leaked, i dont understand the ins and outs but something got stuck and filling it again unstuck the part and sealed it again

take it to your local dive support centre, they done mine for free,as i get my air tank filled there, only took a couple o mins to fix

Nitro Duck Checks are prone to leaking as well..its teh design, makes teh o-rings fail...anyway...CP do a replacement Fill nipple, whcih is very good...think Tom Allen told me that.
