DRY-SUIT VALVE OPERATION, CARE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
VALVE POSITIONING
Auto Dump Valve
It is recommended that the auto dump valve is tted high up on the left or right
arm. With the forearm raised to a horizontal position across the chest, the
dump valve should be directly on top of the upper arm where it can operated
easily by the opposite hand.
Cuff Dump Valve
As the name suggests, the cuff dump valves are tted near the cuff of the
suit. Ensure the valve will not be covered by gloves when tted.
Suit Inflation Valve
It is not critical to the operation of the valve where it is tted on the suit as
it is with the dump valve, but generally the ination valve is tted on the
chest area where it can easily be reached. When positioning the valve try to
ensure that it won’t be covered by other pieces of diving equipment, affecting
access to the valve.
Rubber Backing Patch
It is highly recommended that a rubber backing patch (Apeks part# AP0166)
is bonded to the outside of the suit with a suitable adhesive, where both
ination and dump valves are to be positioned. If the hole for the valve has not
been cut previously then carefully cut out the suit in the centre of the rubber
backing patch. If a backing patch is not tted, this could result in a leak.
