Looking for mature answers regarding Pee-Valves

[MechDiver]

What's this talk about a suit flood and a failed check valve? Now I'm getting worried. How do I avoid that. What I need is a step by step instruction of how to use it once it's hooked and and the cath is in place. I'm really sorry but this is super new to me.

Thanks for the help.

You're thinking too much about this Chris. And Pug is a meany and just likes to scare new pvalve users

The bolt is mainly for caves or hard deco, where, if the whole world folds under and your valve starts leaking, you can screw in the bolt and stay dry. Otherwise, for those of us sane enought to stay out of caves, it isn't really an issue. As Pug suggested, tie it off to a bolt snap and put it in your pocket, just in case. The chance of you having a problem with the valve is rather remote.

"Pug's a Meany" you say.

Well... just wait until you have your first blow-off.

If the warmth follows the path of the tube then all is well.
If the warmth spreads out and then quickly cools all is not well.

Second dives using the same cath are more prone to the later.

You mean if the Cath. "blows" of your willy right? (man that sounded bad)

Seriously though, is that what you mean? That when you pee the cath blows off? I'm having second thoughts about putting this thing on man.

Told ya he was mean

This is like having a flat tire. You deal with it, then get over it. It has not happened to me. Don't get overly ambitious with cath sizing (medium works for lots of us), use good caths (Rochester), and put it on correctly.
