I'm trying to fix up a bunch of old air bags for my canoe club...a recurring problem is broken off and missing valve covers.

I've tried going to my local paddling store/outfitter to see if they could a) sell me new replacements; or b) sell me or give me old valve covers from their vast rental fleet. No luck there...just a suggestion of buying brand new air bags.

I'm wondering if anybody knows where I might be able to find what some new or used valve covers. The air bags are generally a mixed bag of old yellow bags with red valves...I guess there might be some variation in size, but they seem to be roughly the same.

Thanks!

Maybe NRS would have them.

In a pinch, you can fold the tube over on itself and tie it in that position. Obviously not a permanent solution.

NRS, and for failed dump valves (the big ones) you could replace them with a cheap kind of raft valve. Also NRS..

You can pick up IV tube pinch closures from any surgical supply place, they work great.-M-

Sorry I should have specified, I meant covers for the big dump valves.

I'll check out NRS.

Thanks for the feedback.
