An RT valve is basically an xvalve made from steel. Functionally the same thing. I think.

Oh, it is brilliant. By a simple change in the gas path, AGD (ala Tom Kaye) went from using pre-regulated gas (classic valve) to fill the dump chamber to filling the whole system with gas straight from the input supply, utilizing the integrated regulator to shut off the gas supply once the desired system pressure was reached (RT valve family).

Simple change, incredible increase in performance.
