This question is kind of embrassing for me to ask but...

When did AGD stop using "E-Mag" valves in their Emags and switch to X-valves in their Emags?


I hope that made sense.

They were lighter and they stopped using the half and half valves. So simple economics thats why.

He asked "When" not "Why"

Yeah looking for a year or time frame when they switched.

2002 or around that time frame was the switch over. The lvl 10 was also introduced in that time.

I'm assuming that's why they are called 'X' valves... because of level 10 and Roman numerals

Some of the early X-valve emags were engraved as EMax. Shortly after, all aluminum valves just came with X on them. I suspect it made stock keeping easier.

The first X-valves hit the AGD store at the end of Dec, 2002, if I remember correctly.
