Locking the valve on my multimat
2nd August 2012 by Multimat
To lock valve
When the mat has been inflated, turn the valve fully and firmly clockwise. You will feel a resistance as the valve reaches the locked position and the cap will remain in position when released. Take care not to over-tighten the valve.Latest Articles

Bought a pair of multimat 75s last year and they worked brilliantly, VERY comfortable, but one has a valve stuck closed after leaving it closed over winter. Roll up the mat, strap and bag it, then UNDO the valve, the straps hold it in place. Don't know if i can free the valve without damage, and I've lost the receipt, even ifits still in waranty.

The valve seems to have got unstuck and now works ok as far as i can see, having left it unscrewed and stored for 48 hrs. Is there anything I can do to lubricate the valve, to keep it free moving? Please?
