On my Harmony brand flotation bags, the valves (both inflation and dump
(deflation)) have 'Roberts Valves' embossed on them.  An internet search on
that term brings up a number of addresses, specifically :
http://www.halkey-roberts.com/

These are the people that manufacture and supply valves to various
inflatable/rubber raft/flotation bag manufacturers.  The catalog is online
(it takes some digging to find exactly what you're looking for, but they
have those nifty valves that you blow into, and then screw shut (like many
paddle floats have--look under Medical Valves in their catalog) and best of
all they send out free samples of their products.  So anyone in need of just
a handful of valves could finalize a project without spending any money;
until they get wind of all of us valve-hungry home kayak engineers anyway...
