Redundant Supply Valve

Description

The RSV-1 is a modular control valve that allows a diver to switch breathing gas supplies in less than a second. The RSV-1 is particularly useful to a diver utilizing a full-face mask because it allows the diver to switch to their alternate air supply without discarding their mask (a valuable feature when diving in toxic or hazardous locations).5 Minutes to SafetyThe RSV-1 takes less than 5 minutes to install. Simply remove the supply hose to your regulator and install the RSV-1 in-line. The connection to your alternate supply can be achieved by either a "Quick Disconnect" or a threaded fitting.Just One Quick Press With the button down, the RSV-1 is on Primary gas. Release the safety clip and press the button on the bottom of the RSV-1 and you are on your alternate supply (which is indicated by the brightly colored marker band at the top of the RSV-1).Simplicity Strikes AgainWith only one moving part, maintenance is easy. Simply freshwater rinse the RSV-1 along with your other dive gear. Dry the RSV-1 and remove only one screw in order to disassemble and grease the "O"-rings.FlexibilityThe RSV-1 is made from Delrin® (a high tech engineering plastic from DuPont). The fittings are made from stainless and all "O"-rings are Viton®. The three connection ports are identical, which allows the RSV-1 to be configured to suit the dive mission. Adapters currently available for: Ocean Reef full-face mask, AGA mask, EXO® mask, and most standard regulators with a 9/16-18 thread and also Poseidon® Regulators (special order). Quick disconnect fittings include: AGA, Air Source, and Air 2 fittings. Harness mount and customized fittings are available.The RSV-1 is intended for use by Rescue, Military, Technical and Commercial Divers
