Looking for parts for a Deep Sea Supply wing, broken valve part

[scubamikey]

After 15 years but not many dives, I picked up the wing to inspect my gear and these parts snapped off with almost no effort. Everything else looks to be in good condition, I was wondering if anyone knew of a replacement for the threaded plastic part which holds the inflator tube and exhaust valve to the bladder.

I'd imagine it is a standard size inflator hose connector. I'd suggest you contact Dive Gear Express or Piranha to see if they can confirm they have the part(s) you need. My bet would be they do. I'd just replace the entire inflator hose assembly. All you'd need to confirm is that it will screw onto the base that is attached to your DSS wing.

EDIT - My bad. I didn't look at the photos well enough. That is your exhaust valve. They can help you with that too.

Curious; where was it stored for those 15 years?

I need them both, they both broke in the same way.

Hanging from the BP webbing, and partially inflated, in a typical room.

Inside house room, I take it? Sometimes the problem is caused by long exposure to light and/or ozone and/or gasoline fumes, so stored in a garage or a basement (like near the furnace or A/C unit) is problematic.

However with this particular fitting it is the poor plastic formula

These have a closer thread tolerance than the components in previous
supplied links which enables a tighter grip more suitable for your purpose

Were you able to find /change this out easily? I just found the same break on my system and have an overseas trip leaving in a couple weeks.

I’m trying to decide if I should just buy a second rig and deal with it when I get back.
