I want to take apart my Meg OPV but its not apparent looking at it how to remove the plastic cover. A pic would be great.

In case you have any input there are three reasons I want to take it apart.

1) So i can make field repairs if needed in the future.
2) I do not feel it holds sufficient pressure during positive test compared to other Meg units. ie...the CL's do not get as hard.
3) I think it needs a cleaning as I can hear a slight noise coming out of it at times. 2 & 3 might be related.

Thanks, John

Good luck... I ended up shipping mine back to ISC for replacement...

It's a standard drysuit valve, so the retaining nut is on the inside of the CL.., and I believe it's been glued on during assembly...
