Leafield D7 Valve – Replacement Valve for AIRE Boats (2016–2018) The Leafield D7 Valve was standard equipment on all AIRE inflatables built from 2016 to 2018. Designed for high-pressure applications, it offers a shorter internal profile for use in smaller-diameter tubes and an enhanced clamping surface to help prevent leaks in demanding conditions. Built from high-quality acetal plastic components, the D7 is rugged, reliable, and resistant to ozone and chemical degradation. Its low-profile, snag-free cap and field-serviceable design make it a favorite for both boat builders and paddlers who value easy maintenance and long-term performance. Key Features Used on AIRE Boats (2016–2018): OEM replacement for all AIRE inflatables from this production period. Improved Clamping Surface: Provides better sealing performance for high-pressure applications. Shorter Internal Profile: Ideal for smaller-diameter tubes and compact raft chambers. Rugged Construction: Durable acetal plastic resists wear, chemicals, and UV exposure. Field-Serviceable: Core can be removed externally for cleaning or maintenance. Low-Profile Design: Smooth, snag-free cap doubles as a secondary seal. Every D7 valve is 100% tested during production and engineered for long service life. It’s a proven, high-flow design trusted by professional boaters and manufacturers alike.
