Installing a pee-valve

[carrielsal]

I made the mistake of not ordering my Fusion with a pee-valve ....how big of a deal is it to install one yourself on the Fusion? I have the LE skin. Has anyone seen any instructions on how to do this?

Thanks,
Carrie

Not specific to the LE, but here's one description:

I ordered my pee valve from DiveRightIn and Mike was extremely heplful with installation advice. It's VERY simple.

I ordered a DR pee valve from my LDS.

Any issues with the outer neoprene stretching or tearing?

Not yet, you just need to cut a very tiny hole in outer skin. Make you get good placement on inner skin, where it will lay nice and flat.

That's good to know. I was thinking that maybe the cut edges of the neoprene would start to wear.

carrie, another thought - maybe larry or another guy will chime in, but there are i think basically 2 types of valve 'exhausts' - one with a one-way mushroom valve and one with a bolt. he thought about it & decided to go with the bolt kind for me because he was worried that the pressure needed to get the mushroom valve to open might blow the she-p off since it's not as secure as a rochester wide band.

I ordered a Dive Rite, since my LDS is a DR dealer.
I can't tell my the description which kind it is, SCUBA Diving Equipment for Technical, Wreck and Cave Diving: Dive Rite, Inc - Product Catalog - Balanced Relief Valve. I ad not heard of a mushroom valve.
