Santi Thermovalve air leak into drysuit

[eeeckman]

I have a Santi and a Light Monkey connector, the ones that only provide the e/o cable and stack with your normal inflation valve. A little higher profile than the standalone thermovalve, but no big deal. The Light Monkey needs the threads of your existing inflation valve to be clearanced/filed for the e/o cable to pass through. The Santi one does not require this modification.

Thank you! I'll look into the light monkey solution. I was on a dive recently where at 60 feet, I had to continuously dump suit air for 15-20 seconds while trying to get my inflator valve to seat. Was just about to pull the suit inflation hose but it slowed to a manage level I could finish the dive with. Cleaned and assemble it dry and it seems to work better in the bucket, but...

you can get an inline shutoff if you dont want to get a different valve

DGX Inline Shutoff Valve: 9/16-Inch M = 9/16-Inch F

This generic alternative to OmniSwivel version of the in-line shutoff slide valve is longer and a bit slimmer than other styles.

EZ-ON Adapter: Turns LP Reg Hose into BC/Drysuit Inflator Hose

The Innovative EZ-ON Quick Disconnect Adapter converts any standard LP regulator hose to a low pressure BC hose with a quick disconnect and works particularly well as a drysuit inflator hose.

Another good option! Thx for the shutoff suggestion!
