Single Stage #3 Valves | Variant 1 "Big Cap"
These are the Big Cap-style number 3 valves found on Puffy Paws Gen 2 Sea Dragons and Phenod lead dogs — the same large, reliable single-stage design trusted on high-quality inflatables.
Each valve has a 17 mm inside diameter with a built-in flapper at the base that functions as a one-way valve for a fail safe in case the valve accidentally opens. The large cap and thicker tang make this Variant 1 easy to identify at a glance, and the 8 mm gluing rim provides a secure bonding surface for repairs or restorations.
Available in packs of 5, 10, or 15, these valves are perfect for builders, restorers, or collectors looking to keep their gear ready for the long haul.
No need to cannibalize a perfectly good toy just to steel a valve — grab a full set of Big Caps fresh from the factory for less than the price of a couple of beach balls.
