Broken inflator attachment

[bananas75]

Hi all
I jave an older bcd that i would like to resurect, unfortunalty when pulling it out of a locker there was a cracking sound. On investigating the threaded attachment point at the shoulder of the bcd for the inflator assembly has cracked up and without too much encouragement fallen to pieces.

Is it possible to get a new piece fitted/glued in or are they integral to the bladder and non replaceable?

Which make/model of BCD?

NO or YES.
There are plenty of old posts on the topic.
Good luck.

Make and model and a picture of the damaged area would go a long way to help us help you.

Old BCs trend to crumble and rot. Make sure it’s worth saving before investing any money in it.

Measure the diameter of the opening first.

If that’s what I think it is, it’s trashed. Toss it.

Depending on the size, it could be as simple as this:
Installing BC and wing hardware and seals Installing new bladder male assembly
Parts can be found at Northeast Scuba Supply

As complicated as the repairs found in this thread:
BC bladder repair update.

Or as expensive as the device found here:
