Standard Inflatable Boat Valve Ø38mm (Push-Push Mechanism)

The standard Ø38mm inflatable boat valve is a reliable and convenient solution for maintaining your boat’s air pressure. This universal replacement valve features a push-push mechanism, allowing you to switch between inflation and deflation modes with a single press of the built-in button. Constructed from high-quality acetic resin plastic, the valve is UV-resistant, corrosion-proof, and impact-resistant – ideal for the harsh marine environment. A double O-ring gasket system provides an air-tight seal that prevents pressure loss, keeping your inflatable chambers fully inflated over time. The two-part screw-on design (inner valve core and outer flange) installs easily into the boat’s valve port with no glue required – simply screw the parts together for a secure fit and convenient future removal or replacement.

This valve’s low-profile design minimizes snagging and tripping hazards on board. Use it as a spare or an upgrade for worn-out or leaking valves on a wide variety of inflatable boat brands. Its universal dimensions (Ø38mm inner opening, Ø62mm outer flange) make it compatible with most common models. It’s recommended for small to medium inflatables (up to about 3–4.5 m length), where this standard size provides optimal airflow for quick inflation and deflation.

• Easy Operation: Simply press the central spring-loaded button to deflate (push down locks open) and press again to inflate (button pops up to close). No special tools needed to operate the valve.
• Applications: Suitable for the main air chambers of most inflatable boats, including soft-hull dinghies and RIBs that use standard Ø38mm valves. Ensures a tight fit for PVC or Hypalon boats thanks to its screw-in clamp mechanism.
• Recommendation: An excellent choice for boat owners seeking a universal, dependable valve replacement. It’s especially useful for inflatable boats up to around 4 m in length, where fast and secure inflation is important for safety and convenience.
• Maintenance: Rinse the valve with fresh water after use in saltwater to remove salt and sand. Periodically check the O-rings for wear and apply a light silicone grease to prolong the seal’s life and ensure easy operation.
