Why NOT reverse?

Tap both sides, plug one with a guage.

One problem with reverse valves for right handers is with the quick connect. If you have a quick conncect on the valve and it fails it's right next to your face

im right handed and as a result would prefer a left threaded valve. as is i peek to the right, whereas the fitting and QD is right in my face, if it was to the left with the warp and such it would actually allow more vision on the right and keep the whole right side of the gun tucked in completely. plus if the QD did give way it wouldnt hit you square in the face i guess you meant to say for left handers instead of right.

I've just started using a reverse Xvalve in my SFL and I think it's great. The air line now runs between the marker and the warp giving a much cleaner look.

I too don't know why this isn't the more popular choice. It just looks better to me.

Oh.. and I am right handed.

i like the reverse, yes the hose it right there in your face, but if it's set up proporly it's not a big deal. i think the reverse option is easier to put the valve in though, cause you can just slide the valve in w/ your thumb of the same hand you're holding it w/. (this is for righties of corse)

That's the only reason I want a reverse valve. Makes it a bizzillion times better looking. I hate having my warp hose on one side and a foot of Macroline on the other. (I hate gas thrus) Just my 2 cents.

So if i have a classic mag and want an X-valve for it with the hose on the left I just get reversed?

I'm left handed, and I used to prefer the hose on the right, but now I'm used to shooting with both hands so either way it wouldnt really matter to me. But I wanna know why have a dual tap? If you like the hose on the right just get the normal valve, if you like it on the left then get the reverse. I dont see the point of having a plug in the valve when most people wouldnt change the side the hose goes on.

If it's double tapped, you only have to make one valve. No more std. and reverse.

I have a reversed X-Valve on my Mini and I'm right handed. I actually perfer it that way. I used my friends RT Pro and it felt weird cause his hose was hitting my right hand.
