Easy question about emag valves

[magsRus]

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"

[magsRus]

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

[Ando]

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

[magsRus]

thanks man

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

[Ando]

You got me

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.
