## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: DURING A SCHEDULED REPLACEMENT OF THE L1 DOOR SLIDE/RAFT, MAINTENANCE FOUND THE REPLACEMENT SLIDE INFLATION HOSE IS BEYOND THE EDGE OF THE ASPIRATOR WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED PER THE MANUFACTURES MANUAL. MAINTENANCE CLASSIFIED THE SLIDE AS BAD FROM STOCK AND WAS ROUTED TO BE SENT OUT FOR REPAIR. THE ORIGINAL SLIDE / RAFT WAS REINSTALLED PER AMM 25-64-44.
