Dive Rite Low Profile OPV by Dive Rite
Eliminate Snag Hazards in Overhead Wrecks and Caves
When you're pushing through a tight restriction in a cave or navigating a silted-out wreck deck, a bulky, protruding over-pressure valve is an instant snag hazard waiting to catch on guidelines or jagged metal. The Dive Rite Low Profile Over Pressure Valve (OPV) replaces your standard, taller exhaust valve with a sleek, hydrodynamic cap that hugs tight against your wing. You get the same reliable over-pressure relief and responsive pull-dump venting you depend on for buoyancy control, but in a compact footprint that reduces underwater drag and keeps your rig clean and snag-free.
An Effortless Drop-In Upgrade for Your Dive Rite Wing
Upgrading or replacing your exhaust valve shouldn't require trip-canceling bench work. Built specifically for Dive Rite's proprietary valve ports, this low-profile OPV is a direct drop-in replacement for your existing setup. Simply unscrew your old valve assembly, check that the sealing gasket is seated cleanly, and thread the new low-profile OPV into place. Whether you're refreshing a worn-out spring on an older rig or streamlining a brand-new tech setup, it’s a fast, tool-free modification that makes your wing safer and more hydrodynamic.
Features
- Streamlined Low-Profile Design: Significantly reduces height projection off the wing to cut drag and prevent snagging on guidelines, cave roofs, or wreckage.
- Reliable Over-Pressure Protection: Automatically vents expanding gas during ascent to prevent accidental bladder over-pressurization and damage.
- Responsive Pull-Dump Exhaust: Features an integrated pull cord and tactile knob for effortless, controlled manual gas dumping while in horizontal trim.
- Quick Drop-In Installation: Simple screw-in replacement—remove your old standard Dive Rite OPV and thread the new low-profile valve directly into the existing port.
- Dedicated Dive Rite Fit: Precision-molded to thread seamlessly into Dive Rite OPV flanges (Note: Only compatible with Dive Rite wings, bladders, and BCDs).
