Maximize workshop efficiency and salvage expensive equipment with the professional Scubapro R-Series Case Recovery Tool. During the routine service of older or high-mileage regulators, life support technicians frequently encounter severe corrosion, calcification, and salt bonding between the internal valve body and the surrounding plastic housing. Attempting to force these components apart with standard workshop pliers or incorrect wrenches can stress, crack, or completely ruin the brittle plastic regulator case.
 
This specialized valve body holder tool is engineered specifically to prevent that costly damage. By perfectly engaging and anchoring the internal poppet assembly housing, it distributes rotational torque evenly across the metal fittings rather than transferring destructive stress to the plastic threads. For any commercial dive shop or dedicated technical specialist maintaining vintage or rental fleets, this single tool pays for itself by instantly saving second-stage housings that would otherwise be discarded.
 
How It Works:
Strip the second stage down by removing the front cover, diaphragm, and exhaust tee according to standard service manuals.
Slide the case recovery tool into position to securely engage the Scubapro poppet assembly housing from the inside of the case.
Utilize the built-in 8mm hex adapter on the back of the tool with an appropriate socket, or grip the flat outer section using a 14mm (9/16 inch) open-ended or adjustable spanner.
Apply smooth, deliberate counter-clockwise leverage to break the corrosive bond and unscrew the stubborn valve assembly cleanly from the plastic frame.
Extract the corroded valve components for ultrasonic cleaning or replacement while leaving the plastic case threads completely intact.
 
Key Features & Specifications:
Anti-Damage Engineering: Anchors directly to the metal valve structure, shifting structural loads away from fragile plastic threads to eliminate cracked regulator cases.
Dual-Drive Versatility: Features an integrated 8mm rear hex driver alongside flat margins compatible with standard 14mm or 9/16" open-ended spanners.
Premium Marine-Grade Composition: Precision CNC-machined entirely from high-tensile stainless steel for exceptional corrosion resistance and lifelong workshop durability.
Exact Component Matching: Explicitly configured to lock perfectly into Scubapro factory part number 11.190.105 (Poppet assembly housing).
