AERO ELITE

Our Revere life rafts for sale are constructed from lightweight, durable urethane-coated nylon fabric. Each Revere life raft consists of a single air-holding compartment made from this fabric. The fabric is cut, shaped, and bonded to form this compartment using specially formulated adhesives and tapes and heat welding techniques.

Inflation System

The Revere life raft is inflated with carbon dioxide (CO2) gas which is compressed under high pressure into a small, metal storage bottle called a cylinder. This cylinder is attached to the raft and designed to meet stringent U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) safety requirements.

The cylinder is a reusable, refillable type. To maintain the cylinder's high level of safety, the DOT requires periodic inspection and testing of this cylinder. This is performed as required when your raft is serviced at a qualified service and repair facility.

When the inflation lanyard on the raft is fully extended and pulled, a spring-loaded pin in the cylinder valve is released. The pin punctures through the thin-walled cap at the top of the cylinder. This allows the stored carbon dioxide gas to flow from the cylinder into the cylinder valve and then through a one-way inlet valve into the raft’s buoyancy tube.

Ice Build Up

The flow of carbon dioxide from the high-pressure storage cylinder to the low-pressure buoyancy tube causes the areas of the raft it passes through to get very cold. It is therefore normal to see ice build-up accumulate on the raft tube, compressed gas storage cylinder, cylinder holder, and cylinder valve. This is just the moisture in the air condensing and freezing to the cold areas of the Revere life raft. The ice will quickly melt.

Ballast Bag System

Two ballast bags (water pockets) are attached to the underside of the raft's floor. These deploy underwater as the raft inflates. They fill with water and help prevent the raft from capsizing, especially when the raft is empty or lightly loaded.

Pressure Relief Valve

The Revere life raft is equipped with a pressure relief valve that releases excess inflation gases and prevents the raft from over-inflation. After inflating the raft, you may hear a hissing sound of gas escaping through the pressure relief valve. This is normal. The sound should stop after a few minutes.

Water Activated Locator Light

The raft is equipped with a pressure relief valve that releases excess inflation gases and prevents the raft from over-inflation. After inflating the raft, you may hear a hissing sound of gas escaping through the pressure relief valve. This is normal. The sound should stop after a few minutes.

Canopy

The Revere Coastal Elite Life Rafts for sale are available with an optional, manually erected canopy. The canopy offers additional protection from the elements. Markings on the valise indicate if your raft is so equipped. For rafts with an optional canopy: A canopy is included inside the raft survival kit. After inflating and boarding the raft, retrieve the survival kit from the water. The kit contains the orange canopy fabric and yellow inflatable arch support tube. Orally inflate the arch tube and connect to the raft. Then attach the canopy fabric and erect using the arch tube. For rafts without a survival kit, the canopy comes already attached to the raft. Inflate the arch and make sure the canopy fabric is attached properly to the inflated arch.
