HOT WATER VALVE AND WATER FLOW
The VIKING™ HWS features an internal diamond profile rubber tubing covered with a layer of neoprene for comfort. Strategically placed holes are drilled into the tubing, and hot water is pumped down from the surface, and dispersed around the inside of the suit through these holes. The water temperature is controlled from the surface via instructions from the diver.
Narrow gauge neoprene tubing is placed at the wrists and the ankles to allow water to flow into the optional hot water gauntlet gloves and hot water boots.
The hot water valve, designed specifically for VIKING™, has a unique "click" function, with 3 flow settings and a dump mode. The flow settings are HIGH, MED & LOW, and represent flow rates of approximately 49 litres/min, 44 litres/min and
36 litres/min. The inlet valve is a standard banjo fitting, which attaches to a QD ½'' male fitting which is attached to the water supply hose. The valve is mounted on the right hip and is easy to access.
