NOT HAPPY WITH SELPHB VALVE!!!!!
Here is my Selphb valve.
Am I impressed? Am I fuck. After this video I installed the valve and tried to fill. I filled to 2500 psi and tried to release the pressure. Each time I opened the bleed( yes, as quickly as poss’) it all bled out again. Why? Because the oring that seals the tophat is too tight. When you depress the tp, you can feel it rolling the oring over in a ‘click’ type of way. When under pressure, this oring is expanding a little and totally locking the tophat open.
I’m gonna have to get the tp shaved a little to make a decent fit, get the stem replaced and put a smaller return spring in. So for the price of a new valve, all I am actually gonna use of this valve is the valve body and tp(once I modify it to work). What a waste of money and time(including Mam’s who sourced it for me)
Totally gutted.
Try and send it back? After all the problems people have had with getting hold of him etc, I don’t think I’ll bother. I’ll be able to sort it out thanks to Sean and Lang, but why the fuck should I have to?
Let me make this clear. THIS IS NOT A COPY OF A BLODNOB VALVE!! IT IS A POOR ATTEMPT AT BEST. MINE DOES NOT FUNCTION AS IS AND WILL REQUIRE EXTENSIVE WORK TO GET IT GOING.

Haha, you sound funny! 😆
I must admit, when you were comparing springs, I played the part where you said, “fucking great thing” about 10 times.
Us rednecks don’t get to hear you funny English folks that often. 😀 😀 😀

That is definitely not the dogs dangles Pab… Hate to hear that….

Toss back a pint, eat a warm fag and finish it off with some spotted dick and you will feel better 😛
Damn blower dude!
Yeah, next time I see something at a ‘knock down price’ I shall think twice 😥
I’ve used a blod valve body and put the stem and tophat in that. It will do for now, just waiting for it to snap…….
Now I know why selphb doesn’t hang round here anymore. He knows his valves are below standard. He should of recalled all the valves or at least all the stems and re-made them. If you got a selphb valve, it will fail sometime soon if you are using it.
Sorry to hear this pab, luckily I was be able to backout and get it from Sean.
If the stem snaps, there is a safe and easy way to get the air out the bottle. If you use a scba tank, attach bottle to it, fill up to just over whats in the bottle (to open seal) then stop filling. Now slowly crack open the bleed valve and let the air slowly come out. Like wise if you are using a Hills. Nice controlable way of getting the air out without soiling your pants!!
Okay I havent had any problems with mine but I also havent shot that much since I installed it. What am I going to have to get if implodes? and who can help me with it?
Sorry to here and see that Pab. It was bad enough with the fragile stem issues.

SAW’s Brad valve never worked, although I really never tried to get it going with that giant pogo stick spring 😕 😕 😕
Hey it looks good anyhow, I think he had good intentions but never really did it right.
I never had the chance to get mine going, someday 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
