best and most reliable air valves out right now

parkers, 3 years not one single problem.

asco, ODE. if you dont use these then you dont know.

i have had the parker skinner valves on 2 of my trucks and they were the best,i had the ekmw 9000 on my white truck but it got stolen 6hrs after i got it back so cant say much about them,except they sound crazy.and the truck i have now has gc450's on it and i have been lucky but everybody i know hates them!!!!!!!!!

Ball Valves!!

Any opinions on the slam stealth valves? they've been hookin some club members up and all i hear is good feedback.

Also Tork Valves are real good, same design as a Parker but with a thicker diaphram.

ehhh the Tork valves are ok, not the best, mine stick on occasion. Usually at the worst times if i might add!

Are you running a water trap?

i got some of the original blitz valves they were on a buddy of mines truck for like 3-4 years and there fixin to go on my truck he said he liked them because they would bark

i have had my 3/8 airlift chrome valves for 4 years. through 2 diff cars too...they are chrome too so thats a plus in my book opposed to some fugly brass

Has anyone had any luck with AFC two way valves?

i wouldnt even ask this question. your gunna get 10 differnt answers. all of the companies that sell industrial valves are usually pretty good and they are competative with each other. its not a matter of what brand you buy but what quality of valve you buy. every company has a cheap economy valve, as well as a severe duty, industrail quality valve, and many steps in between. also many of the brands like airlift and art have their valves made by one of the big valve manufacturing companies anyway, they just put a different label on the valve. look at the specs on the valve, there are usually seperate specs for air, steam, and oil. if this is the case then you can bet its a pretty good valve. your valves will be subject to moisture and maybe even oil depending on your compressor. ASCO, SMC, and Parker all make excellent valves, but they have much better models available than what typically ends up being marketed to minitruckers.
