It's most likely a DiveRite. Looks like I need a special wrench to unscrew stuff though. |
I have opened up my DR inflators without the special tool. Long nose bent pliers will do the job nicely. I have even used a small screw driver and tapped it to unscrew that fitting. Some inflators have a schradder valve right under the button which makes replacement easy. Not so on my DR inflators. Unscrewing that device allows you to remove the inflator assembly which I have never (yet) had reason to further disassemble. But the inner end of the assemble has a nut that must open up access to whatever is inside. I'm assuming that it may be a seating mechanism similar to a scubapro inflator but it may well just be a complex assembly around a schrader valve. You should also notice that your deflate / maunual inflate mechanism is also disassembled by unscrewing the hex nut accessed from the corrugated hose end of the inflator.
