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.

£73 for a valve body. You mug.

Before anyone says “Why didn’t you make one for him then?”, I was happy to, but not until he was down here in person with his rifle and bottle. On account of being sick to my back teeth with Airforce’s SHITE QC and releasing rifles with varying dimensions, entailing my valves fitting one rifle just fine but not the next and having to be sent back and forwards for fettling (not cheap in either time or postage costs). As Pab never knows when he’s going to be able to find the time for a weekend down here, and not liking to wait, he chose to buy one of Selph’s rather shoddy knock-offs. 🙁
