| Review: |
I've been using this valve over a year in one of my markers, and just replaced the stock valve in another one with the Kapp. I like the fact that it is made of steel, which is lighter than the stock brass valve. The valve pin is also stainless, and is narrower than stock, allowing higher flow rates. The steel valve body is more resistant to scratching, so the surface where the cup seal rests should last longer. You can operate the marker at a lower pressure than stock with this valve if everything else remains the same. I have tried the Rat 3:16 valve and it allowed really low pressure, but pressure that low actually hurts efficiency. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
I love it. This will be the first product that gets a 10 from me. It's priced better than most aftermarket valves, and enables you to lower your pressure enough to increase efficiency without going overboard. |

| Strengths: |
this is a very very good valve. it alows for a more open air flow alowing you to lower your pressure about 75-100psi. this makes your shotts longer and more accurate, plus it is a bit more smooth |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
i have had no problems |
 |
| Conclusion: |
buy this valve over the ratt or shocktech. those ones are good to but they need a lot of matanance |
