This 15-foot-long Remote Air Intake (RAI) is desiged specifically for Nardi 5G gasoline-powered diving hookahs. This part is custom-made at the Nuvair California product facility. Installing the RAI requires factory modifications to the hookah pump.
When the air surrounding a compressor is unsuitable for the intended use, a Remote Air Intake is required. The Remote Air Intake is not available for sale and comes as standard equipment with any petroleum powered hookah.
Hookah Diving Safety Warnings
Diving Poses Risks at Any Depth. This diving hookah should ONLY be operated by individuals with proper training. If you lack suitable training, complete an accredited diving course before using this equipment.
Do Not Rely Exclusively on This Diving Hookah for Air While Diving. While it provides an excellent primary air source, diving hookahs are mechanical devices that can fail unexpectedly due to equipment malfunctions, power interruptions, or air supply disruptions.
Always Dive with a Backup Air Source. A “Bailout Bottle” or “Pony Bottle,” with an integrated regulator, is an ideal secondary air supply. Ensure any backup air source is appropriately sized to allow for a controlled ascent to the surface.
Contaminated Air Supply. The breathing air supplied by this diving hookah is only as safe as the air that it takes in. Always monitor air quality where the diving hookah is positioned. Avoid placing it near boat engines, generators, fuel sources, or batteries, as these can contaminate the air. Nuvair only sells gasoline-powered hookahs with a 15-foot-long Remote Air Intake.
Carbon Monoxide. This diving hookah produces carbon monoxide (CO). Nuvair only sells gasoline-powered hookahs with a 15-foot-long Remote Air Intake (RAI). The user is responsible for ensuring carbon monoxide does not enter the diving hookah. The diving hookah intake must be located away (upwind) from engine exhaust [OSHA 29 CFR 1910.430 (B)(2)], at least 6 feet above ground and 12 feet away from the exhaust. Always use a carbon monoxide (CO) analyzer on diver air supply and a breathing air filter rated for use on gasoline-powered diving hookahs (AC036-102).
