Hey all,

I know this is not likely to turn anything up, but just in case...I am seeking an OPV for a 20+ year old Diverite RecWing. The OPV was discontinued over 20 years ago (according to the diverite support person I talked to), so I thought I'd ask here in case someone has a bunch of old gear kicking around in their parts bins.

I'm looking for an OPV that screws onto a nipple that is in the bladder.

The valve looks like this:

Thanks!
 

With a modified frame of thought you may have been able to put your bc under your pillow
have a little different but comfy nights sleep, and woken up with a shiny new valve, installed

but if half of something ain't enough and you can't repair yours I don't see why not, this is it


the grey flange ones have a tighter thread tolerance and able to be tightened more effectively


especially when you use something like this
 
You need one of these Bladder Flange and a standard dump valve. This one looks like it comes with everything, never ordered it so I can't be sure.

This tool will make your life easier. XDeep still uses this style of OPVs, the outer threads can get welded onto the dump valve, or in my case the blanking plate.

I tried putting it under my pillow but some leaking seawater got into my wife's pillow and the F bombs woke me up before the valve fairy could come so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Thanks for the link! Ordered up!

Thank you! The Ali express link looks like the same one on the BCD, so I'll try this if that one doesn't seem to function.

Cheers!!
