Diff between Xvalve and R/T

[Asian_Sensation]

hi guys, whats the difference between the Xvalve and th R/T valve? besides the x is cooler looking and lighter?

also whats up with the emag valve?!?!?!

[Dayspring]

Essentially they are the same in performance and function.

The original RT valve took its air in through the bottom of the valve in the banjo bolt. The ReTro, Emag, RT Pro, Xvalve all take it in the side like the A.I.R. valves did.

Essentially, the only difference (aside from the Xvalve being lighter and all aluminum) is the laser engraving.

k awesome thanks! so does that mena the emag valve works like a r/t valve?!!??!

[Link44]

and it comes in different colors

Like he said (Dayspring).... they are the SAME valve. The difference between the E-Mag and the RTPro is the E-Mag has an electronic sear tripping grip frame (that allows for electronic, manual, and duel forms of sear tripping). The valves are the same.

With a slightly diferent length on/off pin depending on which gun it's going into.

The length of the pin does not change the "valve".

Some say(Z-man I think) that the stainless steel valves give a little bit more reactivity. This has not been proven though to my knowledge.

Actually TK himself confirmed this IIRC.

[Chronobreak]

that was something that was NEVER proven to my knowlege,only speculation based on the composition and proporties of the materials(alum and SS)


however the classic RT's were more reactive due to a longer on/off chamber if im not mistaken

otherwise an rt and x-valve are essentialy the same valves - a few minor diff in air routings inside the vlave due to the use of alum in x-valves.

AGD john told me the x-valve is just a bit lighter then the RT at cup last year

[Asian_Sensation]

wow thanx to all. this was a lot of help. anyone selling a r/t valve??!?! lol

That's true I guess, if a little pedantic as it is part of the "valve" and does significatly change the reactivity.

[Dayspring]

It only changes reactivity based on the rail the valve is being used on. So the rail actually will dictate where the reactivity band will fall.
