I am not sure what is going on. I am sure there are old and new Halkey, but, I am pretty sure the Cardiac Canyon was out the same time as the Madison. Even the Expedition was pre Madison. All of these boats I have never used that adater.
I have a couple of these pumps, note the end

To that end I attach a 3" piece of clear hose

Now it takes a little wiggling and some times spit to get this hose in the valve, but once there, it is snug. No air escaping and hands free.
I am betting this process will work with ANY Halkey valve were as the adapter may not.
As for my LVM pump

One of the ends included fits right in the valve however, it does need to be open valve. That is why Dave now uses Bravo valves as they can be inflated with an LVM open or closed.
My K-Pump, has a little blue cap that also fits right in the valve. A kiss if you will. But it will inflate the boat by just pressing it against it.
