   Specifications     
       
    Inner Tube construction       Virgin PVC  0.5 mm or 1mm. military spec, for marine use.

   Construction    
       
 

 Tubes are GLUED with a superior marine standard product, in the proven traditional

 manner. Welding reduces the thickness of the material, resulting in a burst seam if the

 inner tube does not totally fill the tube cavity on initial inflation , (and in our experience,

 it never does)

 Gemini inner tubes just stretch to fill the tube 100%. The Inner Tubes are so flexible they

 can be folded hundreds of times without cracking or leaking.  We have been supplying inner

 tubes since  1988, to clients in Holland, Germany and the UK with 99.9% successful

 installation and operation. (nothing is ever 100%)

       
   Military Specification Tubes    
       
 

 Made from 1mm thick PVC with a lower air loss than standard tubes. Typically less than

 1% in 6 months.

 Below is our available sizes and respective retail prices

       
   FOR 1mm. military spec tubes, add 50% to standard tube price    
  Tubes  must  be inflated to 1.5p.s.i., and the inside of the Outer Tube must be CLEAN if damage to the inner tube is to be avoided.
