AXL and a SNOZZLE

I am not fond of inflating air pads by blowing directly into them, so improvised a PVC fitting to mate an Exped Snozzle with a Big Agnes Axl air pad. 

The male fitting on the snozzle is 1/2 inch and the female valve is 3/4 so I am using a 1/2 x 3/4 PVC bushing to make the reduction. The only modification was to wrap the bushing with electrical tape to get a better seal into the Axl pad.

By using this system, I will reduce the amount of moisture from my lungs into the pad and save myself from the dizzy feeling of hyperventilating at altitude.

PVC bushing 1/2 x 3/4

Wrapped with electrical tape for a better seal into the air pad.

The 1/2 " Snozzle fitting fits perfectly into the bushing.

With help from the electrical tape to give the PVC fitting a slightly larger  diameter,   an air tight seal is accomplished so the Snozzle can transfer air into the air pad.
