Leland 33g CO2 Inflatable Life Vest Rearming Kit — Black Bayonet, Manual PFD Replacement

This Leland re-arming kit contains a single 33-gram CO2 cylinder with a black bayonet fitting and step-by-step instructions to restore a compatible manual inflatable life vest for another season of service.

Keeping an inflatable personal flotation device ready means replacing its expended gas cylinder with the correct re-arming kit. This Leland Maximum Inflation V86160-85202Z kit is built for manual pull PFDs that accept a 33 gram cylinder and use a black bayonet attachment. It’s UL Marine Classified and includes clear directions to guide a straightforward replacement, but always confirm compatibility with your PFD owner’s manual before installation.

How do I know this kit fits my inflatable life vest?

Match the cylinder size and the bayonet type to your vest’s label or owner’s manual; this kit is specifically a 33 gram cylinder with a black bayonet for manual pull devices. Using a non-matching cylinder or fitting can prevent inflation or damage the inflator mechanism.

• Compatible with manual-pull PFDs that list 33 g and black bayonet fittings.
• Not for self-inflating vests or inflators with different bayonet colors/types.
• Check your PFD’s re-arming chart or manufacturer instructions before buying.

What’s included and how simple is the replacement process?

The kit includes one 33 gram CO2 cylinder with a black bayonet and printed step-by-step re-arming instructions. Installation is usually a short procedure for anyone comfortable following basic directions, but if you’re unsure, have a qualified technician or outfitter complete the changeover.

• One UL Marine Classified 33 g CO2 cylinder with black bayonet.
• Printed instructions outlining removal of the spent cylinder and installation of the new one.
• No additional seals or accessories typically required for standard bayonet inflators.

Are there safety checks I should perform after re-arming?

After installing the new cylinder, visually inspect the inflator for secure seating and absence of visible damage. Perform any manufacturer-recommended function checks; never leave the vest in service without completing required inspections and ensuring the firing mechanism remains unobstructed.

• Confirm cylinder is fully engaged in the bayonet mount and threads or locks are seated.
• Inspect the firing pin, pull cord routing, and housing for wear or obstruction.
• Follow any periodic service intervals suggested by the PFD maker.

Who is this for: This Leland re-arming kit is intended for boaters, anglers, maritime workers, and safety coordinators who own manual-pull inflatable life vests that specify a 33 gram CO2 cylinder with a black bayonet. It’s for people who want a UL-classified replacement cylinder to keep a compatible PFD ready for the water; it is not suitable for self-inflating PFDs or those requiring different cylinder sizes or fittings. If you have any doubt about compatibility, consult your PFD manufacturer or a certified marine dealer before installation.
