I have a CADDIS "Nevada Gold" float tube. I just got a double action pump today that I'll probably have to return. The male ends of the pump don't match the intake end of the tube. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

the extension closest to the the hose in the pic will work. can u see the seal in the white valve thats in ur tube. thats gonna keep the air from flowing back out so u should be good!! try pumpin it up and get back to me

None of the pumps will have a direct fit.

Go to the hardware store and get some clear vinyl tubing to make a connector.

the blue twist valve should fit inside of the widest diameter pump adaptor.
I have that valve and pump connector. It will work with a pump if done right..
