T-VALVE Thermo
The THERMO VALVE is an essential upgrade for any diver using a dry suit in conjunction with an electrical heating system. This specialized valve seamlessly replaces a standard inflation valve, serving a dual purpose: it maintains optimal dry suit buoyancy and insulation while providing a secure, watertight electrical connection (E/O or similar) to power your heated undergarments from an external battery pack. Its robust design ensures reliability in all conditions, eliminating the need for bulky cable entries.
-
Primary Function: High-performance, low-profile dry suit inflation valve (similar to standard non-heating valves).
-
Electrical Interface: Features an integrated E/O or waterproof connector designed to pass the heating system cable through the dry suit fabric without compromising the watertight seal.
-
Compatibility: Designed to fit all standard dry suit inflation ports (standard sizing for common valve types like Si-Tech or Apeks).
-
Cable Type: Equipped with a short, durable E/O or specialized cable section for connection to the external battery.
-
Construction: Made from robust, marine-grade metal alloys (e.g., brass or stainless steel) and durable plastics to withstand extreme pressures and saltwater exposure.
-
Installation: Simple screw-in installation, replacing the existing standard inflation valve.
-
Safety: Ensures a guaranteed watertight seal at the dry suit wall while maintaining a reliable electrical connection to the heating system inside the suit.
T-VALVE Thermo
Full Freedom of Movement
Total flexibility for any hose configuration.
360-Degree Swivel Head
The T-VALVE is designed to offer maximum flexibility in equipment configuration, ensuring that your setup never restricts your movement.
- Full Rotation: The T-VALVE can rotate a full 360 degrees, allowing for a wide range of hose configurations.
- Flexible Routing: It truly doesn't matter if your rig routes the drysuit hose under the right arm or the left arm.
- Virtually Unbreakable Cable: The unit utilizes a high-quality coaxial E/O cable designed for extreme durability.
- Reduced Resistance: Thanks to an extended copper conductor cross-section, the cable offers lower resistance for improved heating system performance.
Streamlined and rugged design
Engineered to minimize hazards and maximize durability
Higher performance, lower profile
This thermo valve combines a low-profile aesthetic with high-performance materials built for long-term reliability in extreme diving environments.
- Anti-Snag Construction: The valve features a very low profile and a streamlined, domed form to limit snag hazards regardless of where the valve is positioned.
- Premium Materials: The thermo valve is built to be robust, utilizing nickel-plated brass and stainless steel components.
- Seal Protection: The carefully designed structure contributes to reduced wear on the seals and overall exceptional durability.
- Polish Engineering: Every piece is designed, manufactured, and carefully assembled by Ammonite System in Poland.
Precision air management
Smooth gas flow control even with thick gloves
Effortless and controlled operation
Managing airflow is intuitive and precise, ensuring safety and thermal comfort even when wearing thick exposure gear.
- Tactile Push-Button: An extra-large recessed push-button makes operation effortless yet controlled even with thick gloves or cold hands.
- Progressive Flow: A strong internal spring ensures precise and progressive control of airflow, stopping the flow completely when the button is released.
- Ergonomic Backplate: A smooth backplate with a dozen or so ammonite-shaped holes protects the chest from uncomfortable pressure loads.
- Blast Protection: The backplate design prevents cold air blasts from penetrating underclothing during inflation.
Universal compatibility
Ready for Apeks or Si-Tech drysuit preparations
Industry standards and simple mounting
Available in multiple industry standards, the T-VALVE integrates seamlessly into your existing drysuit setup for a hassle-free upgrade.
- Two Standards: The A360 T-VALVE is 38mm in diameter for Apeks standard, and the S360 T-VALVE is 33mm in diameter for Si-Tech standard.
- Tool-Free Mounting: The T-VALVE can be easily installed and removed without the use of additional tools.
- Installation Kit: Each kit includes a steel wrench to further simplify the mounting and dismounting process.
- Eco-Friendly: All units are shipped in recyclable cardboard packaging to positively impact sustainability.
Convenient Mounting and Dismounting
We designed the T-VALVE for maximum convenience: it can be easily installed and removed without the use of specialized tools, simplifying maintenance and configuration changes.
However, to make life even easier for our users and to streamline the mounting and dismounting process on the diving spot or at home, we include a dedicated steel wrench with every thermo valve. This ensures you have the precise tool needed for a fast, hassle-free setup every time.
