The OPTION valve
We can't even begin to explain every option you have with this valve in a single paragraph. Click here
for a page that explains how this one valve gives you the option to integrate with the following
systems: the Cabrinha SPRINT system, the North 2pump system, Slingshot's original onepump
system, Flexifoil's single point inflation system, and the GK system.
9mm inflation valve
The 9mm inflate valve is the most common valve used on kites. In early years the 9mm valve was
used one leading edges for both inflation and deflation. Most late model kites have a dedicated
deflate valve in addition to this valve.
9mm inflation with check valve
This 9mm inflate has the exact same outside dimensions as the normal 9mm inflate valve, however,
air will not escape from this valve without squeezing the base or inserting a deflate stick. This valve is
only recommended for leading edges that also have a dedicated deflate valve. If you don't want the
check flap feature you may be remove it from the valve before adhering it to a bladder.
11mm deflation valve
We're not sure why this valve is referred to as an 11mm valve when there isn't a measurement on it
that's 11mm, but who cares, everyone knows it as the 11mm valve. This is the most common deflate
valve around. Do not use this valve as the only inflate valve on a bladder because you can only close
the plug when the kite is deflated.
Screw valve
The screw valve has been branded by Cabrinha as the Airlock valve and is used almost exclusively by
Cabrinha. You won't be getting this valve mixed up with other valves.
You will need to use the Cabrinha pump adapter to activate this valve after attaching it to the bladder.
Slingshot's onepump connector valve
This is the OEM valve on onepump equipped slingshot kites. The leading edge will use one of these
valves per strut to communicate with each strut. Each strut uses a valve to communicate with the
leading edge.
You will use the latex tubing the connects your leading edge valves to the strut valves as a pump
adapter when activating the valves.

The U-STICK valves
U-STICK valves are the backbone of the U-STICK bladdery system. It's our amazing adhesive that allows you to simply "peel
and stick" the valve you want where you want. You then pump air into the valve and rupture the bladder directly below the valve
to activate it. The system was designed to simplify the entire bladder process. Take a look below to see the valves we offer as
U-STICK for assembling new bladders. If you're looking to replace faulty valves please check out the FIX KIT valves.
