Mark,

I tried them from a Dolphin I have, they fit (very tight though) but stick out to much.
So I assume that Jakub has made model-designated ones but used only the valve-rubber from the Dolphin.

I also tried to fit the dolphin valve-rubber into the orignal BOV's but the attachement (stamp) was much smaller of the Dolphin valve-rubber then the BOV's ones.

So .......... need to order them from the USA instead of Germay

I expect the valve-rubbers to be the original Dolphin ones so I can order spares from Germany.

Jakub,

Are these valves different then the standard valves used in the Dolphin?
What I mean is, have they different dimensions?

Do not know about Dolphin, as i do not own one.
The valve holders are custom made for our BOV.

Finally got to dive the new valves today.... While I doubted it would make much difference in WOB, I was totally wrong.

The WOB is noticeably better than it was with the original valves.

If you are thinking about making the change.... Go ahead..... It's worth the $85.00 or so dollars.

Thanks for the continuous improvement Jakub.....

They were worth the wait...
