Care to explain? I have no idea what a "wicked expenisve line" is supposed to mean....or do you mean the regulator hose?

No I live in Boston. Sorry.

My Smith gauges - both sets - have what almost the same symptoms as what is known in the turbo world as boost leak. My flow rate or my regulated pressure both creep up over a couple hours where I have to constantly turn down the pressure/rate. So then when I start over again the next day I'm at like 1 psi on the regulator and I have to turn them back up again.

There is my explaination. Sorry if I had offended anyone using Smith gauges. I'm just saying I'm not down with the gauge industry. I don't know if Smith has better gauges.

 

Mine do that a little bit too. I have two different kinds. I swear to god I know the names but they slip my mind right now. I'll post it up tomorrow.

This happens when you leave the gauges open or when you close them ?

 

I have Harris gauges and one no name one on my welders. I like the Harris one better. It has a really nice big handle and just looks all around sweeter. It is the less leaky of the two.

 

Thats what Im buying next. My Harris gauges on my oxyacet setup are mad old and still bulletproof.

 

I have a couple of Victor flowmeters. No problems here.
