Airgo Solus Horizon Air Tent (inflation/deflation valve adaptor)

thingiverse

Successfully use the deflate side of the pump with an inflatable tent designed for Airgo but likely suitable for others using the same valve. Like most air beam tents, the inflation valve is a one-way valve for inflation, requiring you to unscrew the whole valve part to deflate. I discovered that turning it around allowed the valve to function as an exit valve only, enabling me to compress the tubes without re-inflation. However, I decided to create an adaptor to allow the pump to utilize the "deflate" side for more fun. To use this adaptor, remove the pressure limiting valve from the pump and attach the tube to the deflate side. Unscrew the inflation valve from the tent tube and screw in the adaptor, then attach the pump hose. You can now operate the pump a few times to evacuate the tube without having to roll it up or fold and roll the tent.
