Valve Troubleshooting

The valve is virtually maintenance free, and we do not recommend its removal unless it
develops a leak. Unlike the cylinder O-ring, the valve's two O-rings are stationary and not
stressed due to wear.
In case of leaking O-rings, simply replace the two valve O-rings to correct the problem. If the
valve cup seal is leaking, return the entire valve assembly to Tippmann Sports, LLC.
