Title: K Valve repair repair kit
Post by: gaz1984mcc on February 16, 2012, 05:17:46 pm

Hi guys can you tell me if this repair kit on eBay will repair my (leaks out of the nipple whenever I press the trigger) k-valve because it looks slightly different to mine. The one I have only has one rubber seal on the nipple where as this one has two.

hi, the repair kit on ebay is for the newer type of k valve.If you plunger has only one o ring i would say its the older and more expensive type.

save your money.

Call Prochem, 02089741515 and order the ''o'' rings @ .15p each. Part no-KP4002. They will also do for many hand tools and also the twin seal soft touch valve as above.

Not much point in replacing valves if only the seal has gone.
