Leafield Marine Switchable Transfer Valve (STV)

The patented Switchable Transfer Valve provides an internal link between adjoining chambers of an inflatable boat/structure providing a single point of inflation.  It can be easily opened and closed to connect the chambers by rotating a control switch.

The control switch is fitted in a position to suit the user.  It has markings to show if it is open or closed. Also, the user can check if the STV switch is open or closed by the shape of the cap i.e. by touch alone.   The opposite end of the STV hose locates onto the internal baffle of the structure or boat using our Snap Fit Connector.

The Valve provides a high flow with a clear 24mm diameter aperture between chambers to provide rapid inflation.

Installation of the Valve is straightforward by clamping onto the fabric.  It is suitable for use with a wide range of fabrics.  The Valve assembly is flexible to help reduce the packed size of the deflated boat.

The valve is made from marine grade acetyl plastics and the internal switch is made from stainless steel, reducing the risk of corrosion.

There is no need for routine maintenance due to the design and the materials used.
