LM non balanced p-valve questions

[Tracy]

That is the balanced one. I have one that has lasted ten years and one that is now plugged to be unbalanced. I went with an unbalanced one for wetsuit use

My wetsuit valve is literally a hose poked out a hole in the leg.

I thought the only difference was the duckbill valve to equalize with the inside of the suit?

Mine started as a balanced but I've removed that valve since I rarely hook up anyway.
