Product Details

The latest North Airport version 2 (II) adhesive valve. This is the latest, redesigned Gen3 version. Fits on all older North Airport Gen1 kites from 2013 and Gen2 kites too, including 2018 models. Fits also on all Duotone kites.

Comes w/o red North Valve Opener Key (separate buy).

Available only on MEGA adhesive valve base. Our XL base is the largest adhesive base on the market. It has more than 2.7x bigger adhesive surface area compared to any other adhesive valve base! This means more secure bond compared to competition.

Official introduction

For 2016 all kites are equipped with the completely redesigned Airport Valve II. To ensure user friendliness the non-return valve has a valve cage which prevents damages of the setback membrane in the inside of the bladder. Reassembling of the secure ring is completely easy due to a secure ring tool which is additionally delivered. This new system doesn’t need a velcro system and is not twistable. The thread of the Airport Valve II is redesigned and is less affected by sand or other materials. The top of the valve can be opened and closed easily.

The Airport Valve’s II unique construction has several advantages, but first and foremost it saves time rigging and gives you more time on the water. The valve works with any conventional pump or compressor as it can be connected directly to the bayonet insert of the hose. The valve is suitable for both, inflation and deflation. The deflation option is integrated, which means no external deflation pin is required. Deflation is simply activated by turning the blue wheel on the inside of the valve completely to the right.

A short sizzling noise, which is a very small amount of air escaping from the interspace of the valve, when taking off the bayonet fitting is normal. The valve enables fatigue-proof inflation due to the bigger air passage. Even bigger kites will be inflated with ease!

The new Duotone pump works 100% with the older Airport Valves I and II.

The perfect adhesive valve solution to replace damaged or detached / delaminated valves on your product.

Why different diametre stick-on bases?

There are several ways to exchange the valves, depends on the problem and valve type. Valve can delaminate or easily to peel it off or you need to cut it off partially or completely. These stick on base sizing was made because of countless valves exchange made by our team, works best and are just right in size for the job well done. We made several diametre self-stick bases to suit different ways of repair:

Standard diam. 78mm - this size is used for standard one pump valves, which can be easily peeleed off or are already delaminated, and area around the valve is not damaged. The simplest and fastest solution in valve exchange.

XL diam. 120mm - if your one pump valve can't go off the bladder easily and/or the area around valve is damaged, then this valve base is the way to go. Used for both one pump valves and all bigger valves, like newer In/Out ones - if got delaminated or easily to peel off.

Mega squared 150mm - this is the biggest stick-on valve base on the market. It's purely used for big In/Out valves, which can't be peeled off easily or area around is damaged, and you need to cut them off. This size is not recommended for repairing one pump valves at all, as the oversized valve base can cause only issues when sticking valves on.

We use Tear Aid Type A adhesive tape only, the strongest and most powerful adhesive on the market. Bases are die-cut in house and all valves are welded on the base, not glued. Welding is the most efficient way of attaching valves to valve adhesive base as it fuses materials together and making a perfect bond. If base is properly bonded to the bladder then it will create super strong bond with bladder and it will outlast lifetime of the kite, wing or inflatable tent.
