Title: valve for Rapid MK 2 filtered model.
Post by: giacomo50 on February 19, 2021, 05:03:15 PM
Good morning KevG,
I live in Italy and ask where I can buy a valve for the Rapid caliber 6.35 filtered model,
if information about the price is available.
Thank you.

Good morning KevG,
I thought the filter valve system was better than the unfiltered system!,however you told me that switching to the unfiltered system is possible and even better. Now I'm going to send you a request with a PM.
Thank you,
Greetings to everyone.

Good morning KevG,
I see the attached photo and I wonder if the seat has been made for the small side screw position so that the valve body can not move.
Thank you.

The main reason for switching, if KevG didn't tell. you...
The filter used, Sintered Bronze, is known to break apart from use..
The small pieces will scratch the valve face, causing an Air Leak!
So KevG valve Stem and body will be a Great improvement to your Rapid!

Good Luck,
Stuart

I wonder if rapid came out in the first edition without a filter, because if the filtered system had been put in the second edition it would have been a great mistake!,in fact it should have protected against any damage due to accidental impurities present in the air!,while paradoxically it is the small fragments of the same bronze filter that damage the valve beat.

Well this only Major Mistake Theoben Made with the Rapid!
The Filter started in the S-Type Rapid!
At that point, there was  huge wave of modification over here in the USA
To remove the filter!!!
They didn't hold up to FAC/High Power levels!

I ask if the change necessarily also involves the change of the valve or the valve for the filtered system with appropriate modification (which I would like to know) can still be used until exhaustion?. In fact I still have a valve for the filtered system, if possible any suggestion to implement the modification using this valve and abolishing the bronze filter. Thank you.

Certainly Kev!mannaggia to the Italian-English!language of grace that there is the translator. One thing I ask you: why does "m8" appear in your messages what it means, it also appears in the original in English.

Hi Kev,
Would this type of valve be a suitable replacement for the original valve in a late model MFR
Thanks,
Ken
