RE: drysuit inflation hose
UPDATE ON THE HOSE -
Apparently the schrader blowgun attachment is an older valve system and it will be really difficult to get the 'blowgun attachment' so they advised that it'd be easier to replace the valve. £50 quoted by Northern Divers - anyone know of any cheaper but reliable fitters? How easy of is to replace the valve yourself?? I assume its a 2 piece valve placed in the hole in the drysuit, seam sealer put around it then screw the two together??

RE: drysuit inflation hose
Inflator valves are usually £20-£30
http://www.deepbluedive.com/department/a...lve/426766 Hoses are usually another £15-£25 on top. So that's not a bad price... If you send your suit to ND to get the valve fitted, they will also pressure test the suit and check for anything else that needs done (at least they have when I sent my suit for a repair) so that's a bit of "value add" for you! Alternatively this stuff comes up on eBay, or you could even get a wrecked old suit and recycle the components.... I've never tried fitting a valve myself so I don't know if seam sealer is a good idea... I thought they just screwed in... Ian |
