VALVE FITTING PROCEDURE
Low Profile Auto Dump Valve Fitting
When the rubber backing patch has been bonded to the suit and the hole
cut out, the valve is ready to be fitted. Place the thread of the valve through
the hole in the suit, ensuring the retaining ring of the dump valve is located
correctly around the cap
(Fig. 1) .
VERY IMPORTANT: Before any torque is applied to the locking nut or
dump valve it is critical that the adjusting cap of the dump valve is
pressed down to lock the valve mechanism. (Fig 2) Failure to press the
cap during tightening or loosening of the valve, could cause damage
to the mechanism.
The valve should be tightened into the suit to approx. 4 lbs/ft (5.4 Nm)
using AT43 tool or as tight as possible by hand. Apply the torque to
the backing nut and you will find the dump valve will tend not to rotate
due to the friction on the rubber backing patch.
After a few days or before you dive re-check the tightness of the
backing nut.
WARNING: Periodically check all the valves to ensure they are still
tight in the suit.

Screw the locking ring onto the dump valve until the valve is tightly held in the suit.
Fitting all other suit valves
Including: standard dump valve, cuff dump valve ( AT43 tool can be used) and
all inflation valves.
All other suit valves are fitted in the same way as the low profile dump valves
shown previously, but without the need to press down on the front of the valve.
You will find with the swivel inflation valve, that it rotates through approximately
350 degrees and then stops, this stop is to enable the valve to be tightened into
the suit. When the valve is tight in the suit, you should ensure that the stop is not
in the area you wish the valve to swivel.
