Colorado Bee Vac Valve Kit

Betterbee has developed a new rotating air damper for current Colorado Bee Vac's (CBV's). The damper is positioned to control the size of the air bypass opening in the top cover. The ball valve in older designs is no longer needed.

This kit when installed will eliminate the ball valve. Old CBV's with failed ball valves/nipples can be used again or installing the kit will make your CBV easier to operate and more reliable.

A few tools and a good quality exterior wood glue is all that is needed to install the kit. A 2-1/4" hole saw with drill or oscillating saw will be needed to cut the cover opening. The kit is glued to the cover and a plug seals the valve or vacuum nipple hole.

The kit includes:

• One vinyl plug for the vaccum valve opening
• A damper assembly with position decal
• Installation instructions

Electronic versions of the installation and operating instructions can be found in the download section of this page.
