Standard Operating Procedures for Inflatable Integrity

I

Professional Air Valve Replacement

Step 1: Structural Inflation

Fill the air chamber to create internal tension, ensuring the valve assembly remains stable during tools application.

Step 2: Torque Release

Loosen counter-clockwise. Warning: Grip the internal "boot" through the fabric to prevent it from falling inside.

Step 3: Extraction & Swapping

Deflate the tube, secure the internal boot, unscrew old valve and immediately thread the new one hand-tight.

Step 4: Final Pressure Seal

Re-inflate the tube. Use the valve tool for a final tightening to achieve a certified 100% airtight seal.
