Can anyone tell me what kind of valves it has for inflating? Is it the nice big ones with screw caps/ tops, or the little ones with push in tops? Tks

big ones,like you use for inflatable mattresses and smaller on the foot and back rest. I tried the pump from our mattress but took a while and wasn't really firm. Do yourself a favor and get the Sevylor pump. I got one for Less than $20 bucks and it's awesome quick and efficient. BTW, I absolutely love this kayak. I had everyone on the lake jealous. And it comes with the same or better oars that didn't come with any of the other kayaks I've seen. They had to purchase them seperate.

Both. The two main chambers have the big valve openings while the small pieces (backrests, footrests) have the narrow valves.

It is mostly self inflating. When you release the valve the matt expands, sucking air in. However, once it's done that you will need to give it a couple puffs of air to your desired firmness. Very easily done. I am very pleased with ours.

I use an old hand pump you can buy anywhere to inflate like an air mattress. That or an air compressor. I have used it 5 weekends now, still going strong. Love it.

I've been able to use tire inflating fittings from Lowe's as well as my little dust blower fitting which uses a standard quick connect on the bottom. However, you won't get much force as the only air stored at high pressure is the air in the line. I think you would have to make the compressor go into a small tank (2 or 5 gallon) to reliably blow dust around or air up balloons.

The pack of valve inserts I purchased had four sizes. But I used those on an inflatable boat, not an air mattress. Perhaps a retail camping store like Dick's can advise.

It has the pop out inflation holes that are about 1/2" in diameter. We used an electric pump to inflate it but it has a tapered adapter to fit in those holes.

there is only one tube on it. one end goes into the pump and the other end in whatever you are inflating. the two holes on the top are where the excess air release from so the pressure isn't too much on the pump.

These are NEARLY impossible to inflate. But if you pinch the valves on one side, either with VERY strong fingers or pliers, you can make enough of a slit to blow air in. And it will stay inflated. NOT easily done, though! It's a "Confidence-building system" designed to build confidence for anyone strong and patient enough to inflate iT!

yes there are 2 spots to inflate. there should be a flap over the valve that is velcro'd on. Bottom one should be close to the end and the backrest part should be on one side in the front. When filling you just take the top cap off so that all the air doesn't come out on you. To deflate you take the whole cap off to let all the air out.

The valves have a plug but there is no hole to pump the air. Can anyone please confirm if a hole needs to be created again or did I miss something

You can inflate with the mouth or with a machine. Its not so big! Great for summer or travels! :)

A valve for easy inflation. Is adjustable or adaptable for different size/style air pumps. Also can be removed for quick deflation.

The dust cap and where the valve goes into the pump. I have bought 2 of these pumps. They are awesome! One for my mtb and the other for me tri bike. For the road/tri bike, you have to pump for awhile to inflate it to a good pressure. Usually I can get it to 80 to 90 psi. Good enough to finish race or get home.

these take a normal pump, you can inflate by mouth or with a pump, it does need the attachment on the pump to fit the valve but most pumps come with that attachment.

Hello, it doesn't have a valve. At first I hated these when they arrived but they work just as well if not better than the ones u get from BBB that have the valve I have used both so I know. These are way more durable and no when u roll the bag it doesn't pop the other does sometimes. Another way to do it so u get all the air out, zip almost to the end, insert ur vacumn nozzle suck out air then quickly lock and violet it is as flat as a pancake no tears no nada just a nice flat bag. I'd surely buy again. Hope this helps...... I travel heavy so I need a space saver.

My husband said you need a bike pump with a "schraeder valve" not a "presta valve". We got an awesome bike pump for $20 at Walmart. It has both. I have to air my tires up about one a week. The more air the smoother the ride.

Presta Valve. Also do note: I'm using 700x28 tires and they are snug. Sheldon Brown chart shows a 28 as the smallest possible but I think you could get away with a 25.
