Installation
Materials Needed
The installation of the P ‐ Valve must be carried out only by
authorized persons.
You will need the following:
•
OMS® P ‐ valve
•
Aquaseal® (Aquaseal® Cotol ‐ 240™ Combo pack
contains Aquaseal®, Cotol ‐ 240™ and application
brush) (Aquasure® is a replacement in Europe)
•
OMS® P ‐ Valve body wrenches
•
Marker: Wax, Crayon, Chalk
•
Punch 38 mm or 1 ‐ 1/2 inch
•
Punch block or piece of wood
•
Hammer
•
60 to 80 grit sandpaper
Installation Process
Disassemble P ‐ Valve (from the out of box assembly)
1. Rotate the Fast Lock Cap fully clockwise to the fully
closed position and you will feel a solid stop, then
rotate cap 1/3 of a turn counter ‐ clockwise, till you
feel a stop. Then press down and rotate the cap an
additional 1/3 counter ‐ clockwise. The cap should
become loose. Pull the cap up and it will come free.
Only a little force is needed to do this.
2. Remove P ‐ Valve body from the bayonet mount ring
assembly. While holding the bayonet mounting ring
assembly press the P ‐ Valve body down,
compressing the spring mechanism and then rotate the valve body 90 degrees clockwise
or counter clockwise and the valve body will come free.
3. Unthread the bayonet mount ring assembly
Determine Position and Connection Hose Angle for P ‐ Valve Installation
This is the most important step in the process; a poorly placed P ‐ Valve will lead to kinked
connection hoses and poor performance. A proven installation position is on the front of the
thigh, slightly offset inwards 30 ‐ 45 degrees. The inward rotation is needed because the valve
protrudes and offsetting it reduces snagging problems, however too far inwards and the valve
can interfere with kicking and/or leg movement. In addition, accessibility to the Fast Lock Cap is
critical for the valve’s proper operation.
Ideally, the diver should don both their drysuit and divewear to make this critical positioning
decision. First, don the divewear, all the layers they plan to wear. The first decision is which
