More information

Used for over 10 years in Europe by Coast Guards and recreational boaters alike, the recently enhanced hydrostatic inflator developed by CM Hammar is exclusively available in North America from Mustang Survival.

Hydrostatic pressure is applied to objects submerged in water. The hydrostatic inflator needs only to be submerged 4 inches (10 cm) for the hydrostatic pressure to open a pressure valve releasing a firing mechanism, automatically inflating the PFD.

Low Maintenance
No inflator maintenance required for five years, unless fired.

Reliable Inflation
Inflates under hydrostatic pressure, the PFD will not inflate prematurely due to rain, humidity or water contact (the PFD can be inflated manually by pulling the activation cord).

Safety Inspection Window
Easily view the inflator replacement date and inflator status through the safety inspection window - green indicates ready for use.
