Just received my pressure gauge off ebay for checking the air pressures on my excell sib,but the valve adapter won`t fit.What type of valve is on an excell and where can i get one from.

Can you link to what you've bought?

Why not give Excel UK and quick call, they may have them or direct you to the best supplier. Have you tried Pacer Marine as they do Bravo pumps and various fittings. I have found both to be helpful.

Thank you both for replying,after looking at some on Pacer marine and a few other sites i tried taking all the washers off ,it now fits but a bit loose,needs an O ring to tighten it up.

Would a flat hose washer (garden hose) take up the space?

I use this on my excel.
If you do get one there are 2 spacers (green and yellow) on it. Take the deepest one off and just try it with the smallest spacer on.

This is where i got it from
