airbag valve problem

[allan]

I'm borrowing my friend's ocoee over the summer, and I just got delivery of it...

the problem is, one of his float bags is missing it's valve. It's still got the hose to blow air into, but the twistable end that seals it has gotten lost somewhere in the mix.

Where can I get my hands on a replacement valve, and is it an easy repair to do? I'm hoping I can just get the end piece, and twist it on... or is it going to involve something bigger like replacing the whole hose?

thanks,

Nantahala Outdoor Center sells them. I don't remember what glue to use but they can advise you.

You should be able to find a value at most paddle shops. They usually come in a mini package with glue too. If not us can always use GOOP (hardware store) which works well (good item to have in the spare kit alog with the olde duct tape)!
Just make sure you clean the end of the tube (mold and such) so you get a good seal. Good Luck!

I just replaced two of these myself - NRS for the valves (advice from this board) cost $4 and used basic waterproof 2-part epoxy was $2. So far so good.
