Dive Concept dryglove replacement tool

Post by Gdog »

I have the Dive Concepts dryglove system, and I need to replace a glove. I know you can make a tool to aid in the R and R of these gloves, does anybody offhand remember the kind of pipe and diameter that I need?

Hi George,

I use a 4" pipe with an outside groove to keep the large gasket in place when you collapse and expand that pipe.

Hi Gdog!
You don't need a tool, I can show you next time I see you. There are also videos on the net.

I use a pair of "A" clamps ... takes about a minute to change a glove ...

If you decide to use a tool let me know George. I've made a couple and can make you one.

Here's the video that shows you how to do it without the tool:

You need a set of these $5 2" spring clamps. I've changed DC gloves many times in just 1 or 2 minutes using a couple of these clamps to hold the glove on the ring as you slide it over the ring.

I do it with the clamps now but it can still be a pain in my opinion. I am interested in trying this tool out as it makes a lot of sense.
