The Delphi valve had the largest opening of any of the drysuit valves. That's what made it so fast acting. And, yes, valves come in different sizes. In order to replace yours, you need to first cut out the area under the original valve. We used silicone caulking compound under the valve and glues will not stick well. Then, patch the hole. Start by cutting a large patch the size of the backing piece on the inside and glue it in. Now you have three thickness of material... the original backing piece, the body and your patch. Cut two patches the same size as the old hole and use them to fill in. Now, draw around the new threads and cut your new hole. The new valve should hide the patches. If you use a Sitech valve, you also need to install the gasket ... further hiding the repair job.
