Similar in style to our other A Series buoys, the A-7 is almost 20% larger than the A-6 in both diameter and buoyancy. The A-7 is the largest vinyl inflatable buoy for commercial applications manufactured in the United States. New design features include: a redesigned ropehold and a new "dual valve" inflation/deflation system.

The redesigned, elongated and slimmer ropehold features larger ribs for added strength in the most critical area of the buoy and an eye that will accept a standard-size shackle.

Another Polyform U.S. innovation is the "dual valve" inflation/deflation system. Both the A-6 and A-7 have two valves located on opposite sides of the ropehold in the blue top. This dual valve system features the normal Polyform inflation valve and white screw with the words "AIR IN" molded next to it for easy inflation. Additionally, on the other side, there is now a blue valve and white screw with the words "AIR OUT" for easy deflation and storage. Below is a chart showing the specifications for the A-7.
