The Inflator Head is the upper part of the low-pressure (LP) control assembly that manages the entry and exit of air into the BCD bladder. It is a precision component, designed to ensure immediate response and impeccable watertightness under pressure.
Key Features:
-
Standard Quick Connector: Equipped with a universal male fitting compatible with all standard low-pressure (LP) hoses. The connector profile is designed for smooth attachment and detachment, even underwater.
-
Reinforced Technopolymer Material: Made of high-resistance plastic material, designed to withstand impacts, UV exposure, and salt corrosion, ensuring a long operating life.
-
Ergonomic Push Button Mechanism: Houses the air inflation button, designed to offer calibrated resistance (tactile feedback) that allows the diver to precisely modulate the amount of air introduced into the bladder.
-
Durable Internal Components: Internal valves and springs are made of stainless steel and anti-corrosion materials to prevent blockages caused by lime or salt deposits.
- Compatibility: Specifically designed for Tecline inflators (such as the standard K-type model), but compatible with most standard diameter corrugated hoses used in technical and recreational diving.
Operational Functions:
-
Air Inflation: Allows for controlled gas intake from the tank to the bladder by pressing the dedicated button.
-
Connection Point: Serves as a structural interface between the LP hose from the first stage and the BCD's corrugated hose.
-
Safety: The precision of the internal valve prevents unwanted continuous flows (free-flow), a critical factor for buoyancy control.
