Step-by-step plan to replace your Stand Up Paddle Board valve
In this step-by-step plan we explain step by step how you can best replace your paddle board valve. View the step-by-step plan below:
Step 1: make sure that all air is out of the Paddle Board and that there is no pressure on the valve. This is very important for your safety!
Step 2: when all the air is out of the board, unscrew the cap from the valve
Step 3: when the cap is off, you can unscrew the valve with the valve wrench that is in the repair kit until you can loosen it further by hand
Step 4: when you have loosened the valve, you can remove the valve from the paddle board
Step 5: now put the new Paddle Board valve in the place where the old valve was
Step 6: turn the valve into the board by hand until you can’t go any further (tip: make sure you turn the valve straight, otherwise the screw thread may break)
Stap 7: when you cannot turn the valve any further by hand, take the paddle board valve wrench and tighten the valve with a few more turns. Note: make sure that the valve is tight but do not turn it to far, otherwise the thread may break
