you told me i need the inner cap of a apeks dry suit valve
which type do you mean the old type or the newer

I do recall you asking me about this. And I don’t think I gave you a correct answer.

So here’s what you need.

You have to buy a Apex dry suit CUFF valve. (I'm not sure old style or new style)

All you need from this is the back cover. (The female nut piece that screws on the inside of your exhalation counter lung)

This cover will hold the OPV in place and the scotch brite round disk filter. If you don’t have this new cover the filter can fallout and float around in the inside of your exhalation counter lung. I also drilled a bigger whole in the center of the cover so there’s less restriction to push out water or air. I don’t have any pictures to show you. The cover is installed in my counter lung. The back cover has a honey comb look to it.

CCR machined out the back cover so it looks like a big plastic nut. The reason they did that is to allow a large amount of air flow to escape to pass CE testing. here's a picture of the stock back nut that holds the OPV in place

Here's a picture of the OPV with the back nut piece screwed on
(Obviously not connected to the counter lung)

Here's a picture of the filter sitting inside the OPV. You can tell you need something to hold it in place. I'm sure these pictures paint a good image of what you need to do.

Or.....F**K this filter

and just e-mail DR. Mike. He's making and giving to all Boris guys his screen filter.

I personally like the scotch Brite filter better because it won’t allow the smallest amount of sofno lime chucks to get stuck under the OPV valve

Cheers Frankie
