Hi,

I would like to know what is the best BOV for an Inspiration. What ist the best practice ? Maybe this has already been discussed, so sorry for the question and just tell me where I can find information :-)

Cheers

I can't say what is best practice, but I do know that all the common ones (Golem, KISS, Pelagian, V4Tec) can and have been fitted. I have a KISS one and am very pleased with it. There are special adaptors available to use the Inspo/Evo mushroom valves in the KISS BOV, which is a neat solution.

And of course, APD's BOV is due out sometime in the next few months. It's the only CE rated one available, I believe.

There are a number of threads on this in the forums - it's worth doing a search.

Cheers,

Phil

ROTFL
We've all seen the new AP one at shows and we're waiting to get our paws on one.

My old Bob Howell DSV has done its time and the Dacor reg in it has had too many things dropped on it so I'll upgrade once AP want to take my money.

OK, thank you for the answers. If AP is launching one in a couple of months I will wait like you for this one (CE certification).

Cheers

Brewmaster, is it a one hand or two hand operation to open/close the valve.
This will have a big impact in my decision to buy.
Thanks

Thganks for the tip on the video it was actually very good.

What was the wireless item that they discussed breifly at the end? Any chance they are gong to make the handset wireless from the head? Similar to what a lot of air integrated computers are nowadays?

Tim@TDL · 29th March 2008, 20:48

Does anyone have pics of the new AP BOV that they could post?

I have this photo, but it doesn't tell me what I want to know
