Leafield C7 Valve

The Leafield C7 Valve is the industry-standard inflation valve used on most AIRE, NRS, Hyside rafts, catarafts, and inflatable kayaks. Known for its smooth, low-profile design, it provides dependable sealing, rugged durability, and easy field maintenance—making it the go-to choice for serious paddlers and professional outfitters.

Its working components are housed in the outer portion of the valve, allowing quick access for cleaning or seal maintenance without removing the entire valve. The C7’s acetal construction ensures long-term reliability and resistance to UV exposure, chemicals, and ozone. Each valve is 100% leak-tested during production for proven performance on the water.
