Broken valve module in BX power inflator...

[amajamar]

Can the valve module alone be replaced in the BX power inflator? Or do I need to replace the entire inflator? Mine died suddenly today. It worked to inflate for my surface swim to my dive site, then after decent it failed to inflate. This afternoon when I got home I removed the valve module and the little stem somehow was bent in the shaft and was stuck in.

I need to be up and running for this upcoming Friday, and I hate to spend $50 plus shipping for an entire inflator when the rest is new. As a matter of fact, the BCD only has around 20 - 30 dives on it, but alas, I bought it new from another ScubaBoarder and it is not under warranty.

Any thoughts?

Scott??

Are you referring to the Schraeder valve?

 

[amajamar]

Yes. But I don't see how to remove it from the plastic encasement which I believe that Zeagle refers to as the "valve module".

The schrader valves use to be removable but the entire module is in the $5 range. I have gotten them from Scubatoys in the past and I would bet these guys will have them as well Zeagle Express is the most complete source for everything Zeagle Systems makes

Do you know for sure that they are not removable? I didn't try to remove it as I didn't see how it was installed, but maybe I it just unscrews like other ones. Are they just automotive type valves, or are they special stainless steel valves?

A BC Service Kit, which includes a new module for the inflator, is available.

An dealer can get you one, or it is actually one of the few items that we sell on our website - along with hats, shirts, etc.
