Torn off dump cord - D'OH!!!

[abitton]

Just pulled my rear dump cord clean off the little disk off my bottom dump (DiveRite Rec Wing)...

Thought of using epoxy to put it back...

Any suggestions?

Call Dive Rite they will probably just send you a replacement. If not the whole assembly is probably less than $10.

Most dump valves use a knot on the other side of the poppet to hold the cord in place. You need to dissassemble the valve and then gently peel off the rubber disc on the other side to expose the cavity where the knot lies. Then re-insert and re-knot the cord and replace the rubber disc (it should still stick, it not use a bit of rubber cement) and reassemble the valve.

I am not sure about dive rite valves in particular, but I would be surprised if they were different.

I would not use epoxy as murphy's law dictates it will fail ecaxtly when you need to dump air to avoid blowing a deco stop, safety stop, etc.

Thanks, gentlemen.

I'll try DA's method, if not, well I guess 10$ is not going to be the most money I ever spend in this sport anyhoo...

DA hasit right on. I replaced a cord on my rear dump about a week ago in exactly that manner. I've put about8 dives on it since with no problems. It works just like it should.
