    Did I blow a nipple

    I filled my tank up the other day, and as soon as I disconnected it from my scuba it leaked all the air out of the nipple. Do i just need a new one? where could I grab one if so?


    Gracias senores.

    first off, I laughed at your title a little.

    second, Make sure it doesn't just need some torquing.

    third, there is an oring in the nipple that seals the air. It might have just gone bad, shouldn't be too costly of a replacement.

      It is most likely the o-ring getting pinched. I have had it happen to me several times. Sometimes just taking apart the fill nipple is enough to let the o-ring get its shape back. Sometimes the o-ring is almost cut in half and you just have to get a new one from your local proshop.

          ROFL at the title. Yeah, probably just needs a new o-ring.
