Important Information
All of the AP Swivel Inflators (with shutoff) are supplied with a new Flowstop (GC3R - shown above) which differs from a regular AP GC3 Flowstop in that the OPEN/CLOSE slider is reversed.
This configuration is recommended by AP for several reasons: first, it makes closing the valve a positive pull-up action and second, if the locking strap gets accidentally dislodged the valve ‘fails-open’ in the open position rather than closed.
Note: If you prefer to have the slider OPEN/CLOSE the other way, it is simple to change but care needs to be taken, with adherence to oxygen-clean practices, when rebuilding. See the GC3 Maintenance Manual.
Why can't I purchase this?
As a responsible CCR manufacturer, it has always been our policy to only sell complete rebreathers or CCR spare parts to trained divers with an appropriate level, AP rebreather-specific, qualification from one of the recognised Rebreather Training Agencies.

RBV07A/DUAL/SO/35S - Dual Oxygen Inflator with Solenoid Shutoff Valve (for BMCL)
The Dual Oxygen Inflator with GC3 (Flowstop) Shutoff Valve is the top spec option of the new AP swivel inflator range - combining the advantages of both the double inflator and the shutoff valve models.
The top swivel block features both an inlet and an outlet with a feed hose to the solenoid. A GC3 shutoff valve sits in-line after this outlet which allows the diver to quickly and easily isolate the solenoid.
This is useful when performing a diluent flush cell performance check - to prevent the solenoid from firing as the PO2 drops. It is also useful in the very rare event that the solenoid fails open and needs to be isolated.
The bottom swivel inlet rotates to offer hose routing from any direction, allowing an independent oxygen supply to be plugged into the same inflator from on-board, side-mount or buddy cylinders.
Kit includes:
- Inflator unit
- GC3R Flowstop* shutoff valve with RB70/25 locking strap
- RB20/84 Flowstop to Solenoid Hose
- AP35S low profile BMCL inlet elbow
*Please Note: as of January 2020 the GC3R features a chromed slider (shown above) rather than the original black slider
Upgrade for existing owners:
The Dual Oxygen Inflator with GC3 (Flowstop) can be retrofitted to all existing Inspirations with BMCL. The diver can use their existing hoses if they swap around the one feeding into the counterlung so that the knurled female connection end attaches to the new inflator block outlet and the 3/8th UNF male connector attaches to the new AP35S low profile inlet elbow (included) which replaces the current counterlung inlet elbow.
NOTE: You will also need a replacement LP Port Plug to fit to the oxygen first stage to replace the First Stage to Solenoid Hose which has been removed.
The Dual Inflator with GC3 (Flowstop) is also available for the diluent side with ADV shutoff and hose from shutoff to the ADV. See RBV07/DUAL/SO/35S.
Other Swivel Inflator options:
AP have designed a complete range of swivel inflators with different functions. These options can also be retro-fitted or ordered with a new unit. The options are:
Single Swivel Inflators - A single inflator block with a rotating inlet block which can swivel through 360 degrees to allow different hose routing possibilities for onboard or offboard gas. Available for both oxygen (RBV07A/35S) and diluent (RBV07/35S).
Dual Swivel Inflators - A dual inflator block with two rotating inlet ports to allow two independent gas sources - e.g. onboard and offboard - to be plugged into a single inflator block at the same time. Available for both oxygen (RBV07A/DUAL/35S) and diluent (RBV07/DUAL/35S).
Single Diluent Inflator with GC3 (Flowstop) Shutoff Valve - includes a hose from the Flowstop to the ADV inlet. See RBV07/SO/35S. It allows the ADV to be easily isolated after the initial descent if the diver prefers to control the diluent manually during the middle section of the dive.
Single Oxygen Inflator with GC3 (Flowstop) Shutoff Valve - includes a hose from the Flowstop to the Solenoid inlet. See RBV07A/SO/35S. It allows the Solenoid to be easily isolated.
RBV07A/DUAL/SO/35S - Dual Oxygen Inflator with Solenoid Shutoff Valve (for BMCL)
