The easiest pressure gauges work in-line with the pump so that you can see the pressure in “real time. There are various types of military valves – most work on the same principal, but have different valve adaptors. If you will be kayaking in cold water, over-inflate slightly as the air will cool down and contract.

Not fully recovered, my arm/shoulder joint is still very painful at certain angles - but getting there. The adapter can be used as is or modified by filing down the tiny nub near the ridge of the adapter allowing it to lock in to the pump hose like OEM adapters. I had to dial in the resolution for the threading, but even the rough prints threaded on (they bled just enough air to make it difficult to overcome the valve). Single Action Hand Pump– similar to the double action hand pump, the Single Action pump is a barrel-type cylindrical pump that pushes air on the down-stroke only.

Halkey Roberts, and various Boston Valve sizes ensure you’ll be able to inflate any of our paddle sports products.

Our location in Corpus Christi, Texas is the most consistently windy place on average in the US and affords us the ability to ride nearly every day of the year. Please also note that these work on back-pressure, meaning certain type valves – such as Boston valves with closing flaps – will not read all the time, only when pumping. It works with several large Boston valves (screw valves) on the market today including Ozone (2011 and newer), Naish, Crazyfly, Airush (2015 and newer,) and Switch kites. It is also suited as a replacement for many other makes and models of pumps, which us the same 20mm 'Mother' hose adaptor with a 20mm I.Born out of a small kite production operation started by Jeff Howard, PKS Distribution has progressed into a distributor and design team for high end kiteboarding products. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Since we are rider owned and operated our dedication to the development of the sport is truly apparent. Note: There is as white Polyurethane sealing washer at the base of the Mother hose fitting to ensure that a good seal is maintained on all the selection of Bayonet fittings - it is important not to lose this or damage it, otherwise the Bayonet attachment will not be as air tight as it is designed to be. Use the open position with 12V pumps (which don’t have enough uummphh to open the closed valve position).

The chambers that are most sensitive are the smaller chambers, and the floors with “i-beams” – these are the lower pressure PVC floors with seams running lengthwise. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

By turning to the “closed” position (push pin is up), air can be pushed in by pumping, but can not come back out. It works with several large Boston valves (screw valves) on the market today including Ozone (2011 and newer), and Naish, Crazyfly, and Airush (2015 and newer), and Switch kites. If you have no choice, release some of the air from the chambers (somewhat limp), so when the air heats up there will not be enough pressure in the kayak to explode.

It fits to all valves with inner diametre from 17mm to 19mm, like new large boston valves, Cabrinha Airlock 2 or new Slingshot speed inflation valve. Please also note: We have a no quibble 90 day exchange or refund policy providing the item has not been used. The adapter does also fit older model pump hoses (prior to 2016) very tightly but does not lock in like standard OEM adapters.Limited serie, precision CNC cut 10/1 air gun adapter (DG10), to inflate all kinds of new high inflation kite valves. Once inflation seems to end, quickly turn the valve to close it, and top off with another pump to full pressure. I have about 3kg of ASA filament sitting in my stash though and when I’m finished making an enclosure for the printer, which is the current project I’m working on, I’ll see how well it prints. The only thing I don’t know is if the boston valves that are supplied with the kits are always from the same source.
