Need replacement part for Dacor BC

[jwalko]

I am curious if anyone has a suggestion.

I have a Dacor Enduro BCD. This weekend, I noticed that the inflator was acting strange...it was inflating very slowly.

So, I disassembled the inflator valve. Upon inspection, there was a slight bit of corrosion, which I cleaned. When reassembling, the very small "O" ring on the needle valve somehow got pushed inside the needle valve (this is the valve that looks like the valve on your car tires).

Any idea where I can get any replacement parts for Dacor? I sent an email to their office in CT, but no response yet. I would just like to buy the needle valve, but would consider the whole inflator assembly if necessary.

Thanks;

John Walko

Phil:

Thanks for the reply. I checked the dacor web site, and it referrs users to what it calls the North American Head in CT. The email address is tech@maresdacor.com.

Any chance you know who an authorized dealer is in the Cincinnati, OH area? My LDS is not a dealer for Dacor or Mares.

You could also give Jerry @ Scuba Tech a try. He has helped me with some old Dacor parts. I will drop you a PM with his email.

You could always try your luck at a good local shop - I used to have a Dacor BC and when the inflator got damaged they pulled the same one right that had a different problem right out of their parts bin and did a mind meld. (Charged me all of $5.)

Thanks all for your help.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Phil,

Great job with customer service for Dacor (a less-emphasized Head line, I would suppose), even though you're the Mares guru and not necessarily the Dacor product manager.

Thanks, just trying to help were I can.

I think I have finally found the right forum. I have the same problem it seems as many. My dacor sportster inflator valve is broken, I removed it and need a new one. I found the dacor dealers phone number in Connecticut and have yet to call them. Is this the best way to get this replacement part. I live in Staten Island, NY. Phil Mintz seems like a really helpful person in this area. Thanks, Robert B
