compression tester Schrader valve? snapon not selling.

[Adamam]

Anybody know where to get spare Schrader valves now snapon seems to have stopped selling them?

 

I have two that need doing.

Well I never found one in all the time I was looking, I converted mine by fitting a critical length of tube inside the brass connector and fitted a softly sprung presta valve. got a box of 50 and have only blown one in a year on a ported saw so a lot more robust.

 

I did find a Chinese manufacturer but the delivery and MOQs were silly and made the venture non viable. I believe that these valves are similar to ones used on gas sniffers, it is the spring rate that is critical, it has to be almost non existant.

 

If tha gauge is in warranty, gunson do supply new ones and you can make them last by not giving the saw a vicious pull on the first strok but by building up pressure slowly!

 

Good luck with this one - I spent hours on it and got around 12 of the white snapon valves but got through a lot until I tried the Presta option.

Bah. Already killed my gunson. But my mercury outboard engine tester seems indestructible. Only goes to 200, tho.

Pull the valve and see what color the plastic is? Like white, red etc. Then just buy the valves online dirt cheap in 3pak to 10pak.

They are the white ones but they simply aren't available. Snapon used to sell them online but no more. Can't find anybody else selling them at all.
