Again, the use of 303 Protectant in the valve will prevent build up of salt and sand deposits on the rubber seat. If leakage cannot be stopped, the valve will require a new insert. Inserts may be replaced without the removal of the whole valve

They are a surface mounted valve (no boot) and have a very low profile. They operate much like the old A-7 but when the insert needs replacing you simply unscrew the valve with a C-7 wrench and screw in a new top section which has the insert built into it. The same applies to the A-6 PRV valve that is used in floors.5. A-7 & B-7 VALVES This valve was introduced by Avon in 1978 on all dinghies, sportboats, and some river boats.
