Tom, Question Concerning X-Valve Trade in...

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I just wanted to make this clear before I do the X-Valve trade in. As you can see in my other thread I acquired an Old Rental "Ghetto" standard mag. What i didn't realize (or didn't think twice about) was the fact that the front and the back half of the valve don't match. The back half of the valve is a "CFxxxxx" and the front half is an "FGxxxxxx." Am i still going to be able to send this valve in as a trade in or am i just SOL now?

it will still be fine....you just need 2 halves, they dont have to match, ie, ANS 8-hole mod and such is still accepted, IIRC

[hostage]

hrmm...good question, I wonder if they have to be in working order. I assume you also have to have the on/off and bolt with it

i wouldnt see why not all they do is melt them down anyway

[askman]

actually, you keep the bolt. (I traded on in) and in case of RT, you actually keep the on/off. I don't know why anyone would trade in a Retro valve though...

I've been happy with the trade in. ;) turned an ancient valve into xvalve.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

sweet...cool..well..it looks like I may be able to get an X-Valve as soon as this weekend..

[del]

so from my understanding, you dont have to have a matching valve to trade it in for an xvalve. i know someone who is in that same situation and wanted to trade it in for a xvalve but did not know if he could though.

[IcantBelieveit]

actually on agd if you read, it says they have to be matching halves.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

That's why I wanted to know if Tom would comment on my question..but as of yet I've heard nothing..

[askman]

why don't you email office gal or just call them. I think they will be accomodating. they do make money even on a trade in, and I would think it will be silly not to make a few exception in case by case situation...

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I work during the day..that's why i can't call...I put an email into TOm and i will be posting his response to my question..(if he doesn't just answer it in the thread)..

You may keep your old bolt and bolt spring, but be sure to send us both
halves of the valve you are trading in. Remove all fittings/elbows as well,
as you will not get anything attached to your old valve back, including
aftermarket regulators. IMPORTANT: If you are turning in an Emag valve, KEEP
your Emag on/off assembly as you will need it.

it doesnt say anywhere there that you need matching halves, you dont need the bolt either.. :)

[DiRTyBuNNy]

actually..here's the answer:

1. The reverse option IS available.
2. RT Pros and Emags are being made with X Valves
3. We will take mismatched serial numbers for trade-ins. We will take an AGD Valve Body with an aftermarket regulator. We won't take a valve that has no AGD parts in it!
