Title: Pelican 1600 - need pressure valve knob
Post by: vanark on November 19, 2008, 09:15:20 AM

I recently got a pelican 1600 for free, but it is missing the knob for the pressure valve.  Anyone know where I can order one?  A quick search didn't pop up anything.  Not that I really need it, but if not too much, I would replace it.  Thanks.

Your the Pelican king huh? I took a few minutes to poke around with google but came up short. You might try calling B+H photo in NYC about that.

did you contact pelican directly?

I sent an email inquiry but was hoping someone had some experience with replacement parts with Pelican.  Their website doesn't contain pictures of the various parts they do offer so I have no idea what it might be.

Pelican finally replied to my email inquiry and is sending me a replacement at no charge.   8)

Working on it.  I almost gave you this 1600. Heck, you might still get it after I get the pressure valve and find it is just sitting in my garage afterall. 8)  But, still looking out for a 1650 for you.

I've got to give Pelican an A+ for service.  The replacement part arrived today.  Fast and free - not sure how you beat that!

Kris, do you want the 1600?  I just got a 1520 today that seems like a great size for me.  The 1600 is just being used as my spare gear box at the moment and you are welcome to it.

BTW, the 1520 is missing the pressure valve knob, too, so we'll be testing Pelican's customer service once again.
