How long do Xvalves Last?

[RavishingEddie]

Well guys, from your responses I have concluded that these valves last a long time.

Doesn't Aluminum have a very high melting point? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. It's been a while since my last science class

[SR_matt]

its lowerr than steel, 1220.666F for AL, its a rather low temp. steel wont melt till 2500ish

10-20 years and a fire.

My valve has survived a fire and still works.

If it's an emaxx valve then that's probably more like ten, since the emag didn't coe out until after the rt, i think it was either 97 or 98, i can't remember.

Xvalves did not come out until about 2002-2003ish. Therefore we dont really know.
Mine has lasted me a good 5 years without a SINGLE problem They should last just about as long as a stainless steel mag, and there are mags around from the 80s that still work great.

mag's didn't hit the scene until the 90's. (91 if I remeber right)

I'm willing to bet, 20 years from now my mag will still be working right.

It will last don't worry.

I had a Classic RT in my closet for over 6 years. Never used or oiled it. I aired it up, it shot but had a few leaks. Changed 3 orings and it worked perfect.

There tanks don't worry.
