Common Concerns Answered
How can I be sure this kit is compatible with my Onyx PFD?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Onyx Re-Arm Kit 24g?
This kit contains one 24-gram CO2 cylinder with a 1/2" thread, one green indicator clip, and one yellow water-soluble bobbin, providing all necessary components for re-arming.
Is this re-arm kit compatible with all Onyx inflatable life jackets?
This specific kit (MPN: 135200-701-999-12) is designed for Onyx automatic/manual inflatable PFDs utilizing a 24g CO2 cylinder. Always consult your PFD's manual to confirm compatibility before purchase.
How do I know if my Onyx inflatable life jacket has been deployed?
An Onyx inflatable life jacket that has been deployed will typically show the inflation bladder filled with air. After deployment, the indicator clip will also likely be displaced, and the bobbin will have dissolved to trigger inflation.
How do I install the Onyx Re-Arm Kit 24g?
Installation involves unscrewing the spent CO2 cylinder, attaching the new 24g cylinder, inserting the yellow water-soluble bobbin into the inflator mechanism, and finally securing the green indicator clip.
How often should I check or replace the CO2 cylinder in my Onyx inflatable life jacket?
It is recommended to inspect the CO2 cylinder and re-arm kit components annually and after every deployment. Replace the CO2 cylinder and bobbin immediately after the PFD has been inflated, regardless of the time elapsed since the last check.
