Mares inflator deflation button tool precision machined from white acetal for professional BCD service.

The Mares inflator deflation button tool is a highly specialised workshop instrument developed for the professional servicing, disassembly, and maintenance of Mares BCD inflator mechanisms. This double-ended tool provides dive technicians with a precise and streamlined solution for extracting and reinstating the delicate internal plastic ring and its associated sealing O-ring found at the bottom section of the inflator.

As a direct workshop equivalent to the factory Mares tool number 47106190, this piece of equipment eliminates the need for improvised workshop methods that often lead to cracked plastic or torn seals. Precision-machined entirely from robust white acetal, its non-marring construction protects soft plastic housings and delicate components from accidental scratches, friction damage, or structural warping during annual BCD inspections and overhauls.

How It Works:

Removal: After detaching the inflator assembly from the buoyancy compensator jacket, push the specific side of the tool containing the small hole against the mechanism to securely disengage and remove the deflation button components.
Installation: Switch to the reverse end of the tool featuring the larger opening. Place the small replacement plastic part with its sealing O-ring positioned squarely on top inside the tool, then guide and seat it smoothly back into its designated location within the inflator body.

Key Features & Specifications:

OEM Functionality: Serves as a direct equivalent to factory tool number 47106190 for seamless, professional compatibility.
