7.10 Quad-Valve™ Exhaust
Assembly
The Quad-Valve™ exhaust became standard on the
SuperLite
-17 helmet as of March 2005. This is a
®
superior exhaust system that ties together the regula-
tor exhaust and the helmet exhaust into one unit with
exceptionally low exhalation resistance.
The Quad-Valve™ is nearly identical in design to
the previously standard Tri-Valve™. The difference
between the two units is that the Quad-Valve™ uses
the quad exhaust cover to connect the exhaust body to
the exhaust main body. All other parts are identical. If
you have an older SL-17 helmet you are strongly en-
couraged to upgrade your helmet to the Quad-Valve™
design with the Quad-Valve™ cover.
