It is the part the gas goes in through, it takes a hammering from every fill, and it is cheap to replace once you know that is what has gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Action Army’s own valve for their AAP-01 magazines, so the thread and the seat are the ones the magazine was built around. That matters more than it sounds on a part whose whole job is to seal under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitting it needs a valve key. If you have ever serviced a gas magazine you have one; if you have not, buy one before you start rather than reaching for pliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#1B3A6B;color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAction Army AAP-01 and AAP-01C gas magazines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMagazine fill valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSupplied as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSingle valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePart type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFirst-party Action Army component\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eGood to know before you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA valve key is not included and you will not get the valve out cleanly without one.

If it vents the moment you fill it, look at the output valve instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the old valve until the new one has held pressure for a day.

One that will not take a charge at all is usually the output valve or the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need any tools?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA gas valve key.
