AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Reactive Trigger technology was introduced with the Automag RT in 1996 and the subsequent valves: ReTro, RT Pro, E-Mag, E-Max, X-Mag, X-Valve, X, et cetera. (Pretty much all the stainless steel-aluminum and aluminum except for the Sydarm.) The valve is designed differently with an air passage not found on the stainless steel classic valves which allow it to RT. Therefore, an RT On/Off assembly in a ss valve won't allow you to RT - though the thinner pin gives you a lighter trigger as others have said.
Olsson makes a good point - some of the early ss/al valves (ReTro, RT Pro) can't accept the ULT/ULE Trigger Kit because it was only drilled for one o-ring instead of the later standard of double nested o-rings on the end. It is possible for those valves to be drilled and appropriately enlarged though.
