Product Information
The Bare SI TECH Slide Inflator Valve (MPN 088905BLK-EA) is a drysuit inflation valve for recreational and technical diving, operated by a slide button that is pushed sideways. SI TECH, the Swedish manufacturer, states the slide button lets the diver inflate a smooth flow of gas and fully control buoyancy, and the valve swivels 360° and is supplied with an International (Int'l) nipple connector.
Who it is for
This valve suits drysuit divers who want deliberate, metered gas input rather than an abrupt burst, including recreational divers managing depth changes and technical divers who need fine buoyancy control while wearing thick undergarments. It is also the part to choose when you are replacing or servicing the inflation valve on a drysuit that uses SI TECH valve fittings, or building out a suit with an Int'l inflator hose connection.
Key details
- Slide button activation, operated sideways, for a smooth and controllable gas flow

- Angled housing shaped for improved accessibility and easy location by feel during a dive
- Filter lid construction stated by SI TECH to be compatible with common drysuit undergarments
- Nipple cover keeps particles out of the connector

Frequently Asked Questions
What hose connector does the Bare SI TECH Slide Inflator Valve use?
It is supplied with an Int'l nipple, the international or standard inflator hose connector, and the valve swivels 360° so the hose can be routed comfortably. A nipple cover is included to keep particles out of the connector when the hose is disconnected. If you need to confirm the fitting on your existing drysuit inflator hose, contact us before ordering.
What is the difference between the large and small guide ridge versions?
SI TECH lists the slide inflation valve in two guide-ridge sizes, large (item 24780) and small (item 24880), both with the Int'l nipple. SI TECH offers the two guide-ridge sizes to suit different drysuit manufacturers, so the correct size depends on your suit. Call 888-701-4017 and we will help identify which one your suit takes.
Why choose a slide button inflation valve?
SI TECH states that the slide button, which is pushed sideways, lets the diver inflate a smooth flow of gas and fully control buoyancy. The housing is also shaped to be easy to locate, and it is angled for improved accessibility, which helps when you are adding small amounts of gas by feel during a descent or an ascent.
Will this valve work with thick drysuit undergarments?
Yes. SI TECH states the filter lid construction is compatible with common drysuit undergarments. An anti-friction washer is included with the valve as well. Materials, thread size and working pressure are not published by the manufacturer for this model.
