Description for Apeks Automatic Dump Valve :Automatic Dump Valve
All the features of our Low Profile version without the obvious benefits of its low, ergonomic design.
Low Profile Automatic Dump Valve
The most technically advanced and reliable automatic dump valve available. Correctly adjusted, the valve gives effortless yet controlled hands free ascent as expanding air automatically vents from the suit. Equipped with a manual over-ride system allowing you to vent the suit completely without disturbing your personal buoyancy setting.
This valve has the lowest profile with optimum dump rate. It has an improved ratchet feel and is ergonomically designed for ease of use. Mounting patches have been designed for use with this valve and are available.
The Auto-dump valve is designed to control the volume of air in the divers dry-suit and can be adjusted by the diver to attain the correct buoyancy and allow a safe ascent.
The volume of air in the dry suit is controlled by means of a rotating cap. Turning the cap clockwise increases the spring load acting on the valve seat and allows a larger volume of air to be maintained in the dry suit. Anti-clockwise rotation of the cap reduces the spring load, allowing air to escape and so hold a smaller volume of air. The rotating cap also features a ratchet mechanism, to prevent accidental adjustment of the dump valve.
