Valves & Adaptors from Advanced Elements

This explainer video goes through the various valves and adaptors from Advanced Elements.

Across the range of Advanced Elements kayaks the valve vary, and even between the various chambers of a single model, the valves vary.

The reason the valves vary is mostly due to pressure. Low pressure valves are different to medium pressure valves, which are different again to high pressure valves.

In terms of the adaptors, they obviously have to change to fit the valves, but there are also options that relate to whether or not you need a back pressure reading for your pressure gauge.

NOTE - no, you can NOT use a compressor to inflate your kayak.

It really helps if you understand the different types of valves and their associated adaptors, before you purchase the kayak. It will ultimately help you to understand whether your existing pump will work, and what type of pump you might need to purchase. But if you want more details, these videos will be helpful:

Hope this helps!
