What is the weight of the Peli™ 1535 Air Case?

Can this case be used for checked airline baggage?

Yes, the Peli™ 1535 Air Case is designed to withstand the rigors of air travel and is suitable for checked baggage. However, always check with your specific airline for their policies regarding equipment cases.

How does the automatic purge valve work?

The valve automatically releases built-up air pressure caused by changes in altitude or temperature, preventing vacuum lock and making the case easier to open. It also prevents water molecules from entering while allowing air molecules to pass through.

What is the warranty for this case?

Peli cases are typically covered by Peli's 'Pelican Products, Inc. Guarantee of Replacement'. Specific terms may vary, so consult Peli's official warranty information for details.

Troubleshooting

Case is difficult to open.

Ensure the automatic purge valve has been manually pushed in to equalize pressure. Check that latches are fully disengaged. Clean the O-ring and gasket groove if dirty.

Water ingress detected.

Inspect the O-ring gasket for damage, debris, or improper seating. Ensure the case is fully closed and latches are securely fastened. Check the purge valve for proper function.

Latches are stiff or not closing properly.

Clean any dirt or debris from the latch mechanism. If necessary, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pivot points. Ensure the case is not over-packed, which can put undue stress on the latches.

Exterior casing shows minor scuffs.

Minor cosmetic scuffs are normal wear and tear for a protective case used in demanding environments and do not affect the case's protective capabilities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As this model comes without foam, the primary setup involves deciding how to secure your equipment within the case. Options include purchasing Peli's Pick N' Pluck™ foam or a custom-cut foam insert, or using alternative padding materials. Ensure any inserts fit snugly and prevent items from shifting.

Compatibility: The Peli™ 1535 Air Case is designed to accommodate a wide range of equipment, from cameras and lenses to sensitive electronics and tools. Its internal dimensions should be checked against the dimensions of the items being transported. The case itself is compatible with most standard travel and transport methods.

Care: To maintain the case's integrity:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. O-Ring Gasket: Inspect the O-ring periodically for debris or damage. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Ensure it is properly seated before closing the case.
  3. Latches: Keep latches clean and free from obstructions. Lubricate lightly if they become stiff.
  4. Purge Valve: Ensure the purge valve is clear of debris. It should operate smoothly.
