Inflation hub for a fluid inflatable apparatus

An inflation hub for attachment to a fluid inflatable apparatus, the inflation hub comprising:

• a body having an internal lumen defining a first lumen section and a second lumen section, an inlet of the first lumen section being configured for connection to an inflation device, and an outlet of the second lumen section being configured for connection to the fluid inflatable apparatus;
• a stopcock valve having a stem angularly extending from a portion of the body between the first lumen section and the second lumen section of the internal lumen, the stem being selectively rotatable between an open position, wherein an internal channel of the stem fluidly connects the first lumen section with the second lumen section, and a closed position, wherein the stopcock valve fluidly disconnects the first lumen section from the second lumen section;
• and
• a pressure-relief valve integrated within the stem of the stopcock valve and in fluid communication with the internal channel thereof, the pressure-relief valve including a loading member biasing the pressure-relief valve into a closed position thereof, the pressure-relief valve being configured to move into an open position thereof when the stopcock valve is in the open position thereof and a pressure with the internal lumen of the body exceeds a threshold, opening pressure of the loading member,
• wherein the stem includes a sidewall terminating in an upper rim, the upper rim defining an open upper end of the stem and the sidewall having a recess extending therethrough, the recess being positioned downstream of the pressure-relief valve and configured to enable fluid escape therethrough irrespective of fluid escape through the open upper end of the stem.
