Comments about NRS Float Bag Valve:
Replaced worn out valves (sand scratched seals). Heat tube to soften with a hair dryer, wiggle out old valve, reheat tube end, dampen valve end with water, wiggle on, let dry--a few minutes and done. In the field, warm them up in a sealed hold or on top of a piece of tin foil.
If you need to clean organic material out of the tubes, take them off the bags (same way) and clean with a small bottle brush on a stiff wire extension. Soap/water then an non-chlorine mold retarder (friend uses L******** mouthwash for this).

I couldn't get it to stick on with heat. PVC cement worked great.

Comments about NRS Float Bag Valve:
After 3 years of regular use my old float valve gave out. The float bag it was on is inside my greenland kayak so the bag was still in great shape. The new valve is slightly bigger than the old, so it was simple to cut a piece off from the old tube and slide the new valve into the tube to what seems like a more snug fit than the old. Saved a good float bag for [$]!

yes. It fits on the end of the poly tube(w/glue).Answered on 2/26/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Yes. It is the complete valve part. I ordered it for some float bags I
was making from scratch as well. You will need the plastic tubing as well
but this is the valve that goes on the plastic tubing.Answered on 2/26/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
this valve fits right on the end of your air tube. you shouldn't need
anything else, maybe some epoxy. twist right/left to open close valve. no
parts really. hope this helpsAnswered on 2/26/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER

It is the complete valve assembly, tubing not included. That is what I
used for making my own float bags.
Excellent quality and service from NRS.

This is the complete valve. Twist the blue part to open and close, glue
the white portion into the vinyl tubing.

A:
It is a complete valve but it is made to fit a very specific size of tubing.
The white part sticking out on the photo below fits into the tube. There are
no barbs and no taper on it. So if your fill tubing is even a slightly
different size than what this is made to fit, you'll have a hard time
getting it to seal. I replaced a valve in an inflatable kayak seat. The
original tubing had become enlarged over the years so when I put the new
valve in it didn't fit tight and leaked. I had to cut a small section off
the end of the tubing and then it fit.

Sorry, guess I don't check this email often enough.
It's probably too late, but if it's still any help...
This valve fits into the plastic tube for oral inflation.
it does not include the tubing or a way to attach it to
the float bag but is otherwise complete.
Hope this helps.
