Low-Profile Balanced Relief Valve

The Low-Profile Balanced Relief Valve was designed from the ground up to be one of the thinnest relief valves on the market. Its’ compact and streamlined shape makes it more comfortable, lighter weight and less prone to snagging on guidelines or environmental hazards. The Low-Profile Balanced Relief Valve is a hands-free design with an external one-way mushroom valve so the relief valve can be dived even if it is not connected. The machined Delrin body is designed for easy installation and removal for cleaning. A coin slotted outer cap allows quick removal for inspection of the outer mushroom valve or to clear any debris. An updated balancing valve design allows pressure equalization between the tubing and the inside of the drysuit, while greatly reducing the potential for leaks. 24-inches of kink-free Norprene tubing are included and a unique swiveling hose barb further adds comfort for the diver. A relief valve is a critical accessory for any drysuit diver, especially on long dives. Without a relief valve, divers tend to intentionally dehydrate themselves to avoid the “urge” during an extended bottom time dive. Hydration has been shown to be a critical factor in avoiding decompression sickness. With our relief valves, proper hydration is no longer a concern. Comes with a gasket for trilaminate drysuit, 24 in (60 cm) of Norprene tubing, and a plastic catheter adapter. Made in the USA.
