Gents

Does anybody have a tried and tested method of stopping these damn things leaking? apart from not connecting to a gas supply.

Has anybody ever had a reasonable response from GCE indicating the underlying cause?

We are still constrained to buy them and in my personal opinion they are dreadful! occasionally leaking when brand new and even after replacement of all washers, o rings and diaphragms success at stopping the leak is rare. I recall that fitting the patient hose to the old style Ohmeda Entonox regulator used to cause a back pressure and close the DV but fitting the patient parts seems to make no difference with these.

Any suggestions (apart from buying different ones) will be appreciated.
