p-valve

My new drysuit came with a Heser p-valve. I'm not going to need it until I will start doing longer and deeper dives, but I will use my drysuit tomorrow without connecting the p-valve and I'm not clear on wether it should stay open or closed, or will have to be opened/closed during the dive...

So, with GUE Fundies next week, it's time to add major new gear to my configuration. Sounds smart, right? (About as smart as buying brand new shoes right before a marathon...) My instructor recommended for best use of class time that I either have a P-valve or a diaper. I decided for the...

Anyone that's been diving drysuits for any length of time knows the awful feeling when you're in the middle of your dive and you feel that little trickle on your left shoulder. It doesn't take long for your whole left arm to get soaked, cold, and miserable. Many of us have learned how to...

Hi There! I am about to add a P-valve to my suit. I was wondering if any of you had experience or read any review on the DTD balanced p-valve? Any thoughts in general?

Since putting on a little Bioprene I no longer fit into my like new dry-suit. I have only used the suit for my tec 50 and cavern/intro to cave course in June 2017. Photos available on request via email or Whatsapp. Built-in undergarments Boot size 40-42 (UK 8) Low-pressure hose Used for 10...

Hi folks, I've read several threads abiut p-valve routing discussions (up or down) and the discussion is usually a matter of whether you're ok to have a hole in your undergarnments or not. I've been using downwards routing for 5 years with: -1 drysuit, 2 successive p-valves -1 thick wetsuit...

Have you or anyone you know installed a Light Monkey Tinkle p-valve on a crushed Neoprene drysuit? I installed LM p-valve onto my Pinnacle Black Ice drysuit five years ago using Auto\Marine Silicone to form a gasket to allow the valve to be removable for cleaning. This technique worked well...

Did a light monkey tinkle p valve install last night. Tested it today. When it's on its out of the way and doesn't catch on anything. Used a 7/8 hole punch for the drycore and a smaller punch the size of a pencil eraser for the skin hole and two rubber gaskets on the inside and outside of...

I have read every thread on SB (and articles/threads elsewhere linked to in those threads) about p-valves and plumbing. I have not dived my drysuit yet and am getting things like this squared away in preparation for an upcoming drysuit class. I'm not sure if any of this is relevant, but I have...
