I bought this pressure gauge w/hose and insert for my pony bottle configuration. I had to assemble the gauge to the hose by placing the insert inside each piece. I felt a need to contact [...] support to make sure that I was doing it right. They confirmed what seemed logically correct to me. However, during my second dive with it to 110 fsw, a dive buddy noticed small bubbles coming from the gauge/hose connection. Back aboard ship, I disassembled the hose and gauge and coated appropriate parts of the insert with silicone grease and reassembled the pieces. The problem went away. I don't believe there were any assembly instructions with the gauge/hose/insert. I would have preferred that they were there with instructions to silicone grease the insert before inserting into the hose and gauge.
