Probably not. Most drysuit inflator valves are made by SiTech or Apeks. SiTech tends to stick to the "Seatec" nipple fitting:



Apeks uses the same nipple as above but will occassionally also use a "CEJN" nipple:





The Seatec fitting is the same one that most BCD inflators use. Have you tried attaching one of those to your drysuit to see the results? (I understand this only happens underwater so this might not be possible).

Hmmmm. It's probably the inflator valve then. That's a bummer. Hopefully Hollis will step up and help you out.

EDIT: Actually it looks like the nipple might be removable and replaceable.
