Description
The ADC Inflation Bulbs and Valves keep manual blood pressure kits working, replacing the squeezed-out bulbs and leaky valves that quietly ruin deflation control. They fit most pocket and clock aneroids and mercury sphygs, so a five-minute part swap restores an instrument instead of retiring it.
- Adflow premium models – The Adflow bulb and valve options add filter screen protection and carry a three-year warranty.
- Broad compatibility – Made for use with most aneroid and mercurial blood pressure instruments across brands.
- Latex free build – Every model here is made without natural rubber latex for sensitive environments.
- Individually packaged – Each unit arrives individually packaged, with Adflow models individually boxed for stocking.
The Wear Parts That Decide Deflation Quality
These replacement bulbs and valves cover the two ends of a manual inflation system: the squeeze that builds pressure and the valve that meters its release. The Adflow bulb includes a filter screen end valve that keeps dust out of the system, while the Adflow bulb and valve set pairs the bulb with ADC's precision deflation valve. The standard bulb and valve offers the economical route for routine replacements across a fleet of instruments. All three are made without natural rubber latex and are individually packaged for supply-room stocking. Biomed teams, clinics, and schools maintaining manual BP fleets keep these on hand to turn a failing kit into a five-minute repair.

Why Choose This Bulb and Valve Set
A sphygmomanometer rarely dies all at once: the bulb stiffens, the valve seeps, and readings drift long before anyone blames the parts. Stocking the correct OEM wear parts keeps a whole fleet accurate for the price of one new instrument. The Adflow options add dust protection and triple the warranty for the kits that work hardest.
- Repair instead of replace – A bulb or valve swap restores deflation control for a fraction of a new gauge's cost.
- Filter screen protection – Adflow models screen incoming air, reducing the dust build-up that degrades valves.
- Fleet-ready packaging – Individual packaging suits supply rooms that service many instruments.
- Up to three-year coverage – Adflow models are warranted three years, the standard model one year.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
Which model does my instrument need?
Choose the bulb with end valve if only the squeeze bulb and its end fitting have failed, and the bulb and valve set when deflation control is also poor. The standard set covers routine replacements at the lowest cost.
Will these fit non-ADC gauges?
They are made for use with most aneroid and mercurial blood pressure instruments, not only ADC models. Compare your current bulb and valve fittings before ordering.
What does the filter screen do?
The Adflow end valve includes a filter screen that keeps dust out of the inflation pathway. Less dust means slower valve degradation and steadier deflation.
Are they latex free?
Yes, none of these models is made with natural rubber latex. That makes them suitable for latex-sensitive care environments.
What warranty applies?
The standard model carries a one-year warranty and the Adflow models carry three years. Coverage extends to the original retail purchaser and runs from delivery.
