Raven Magazine Input Valve - Leak-Free Refills for EU & 226 Series

A leaky magazine is the fastest way to ruin a Sunday skirmish - and the input valve is usually the first point of failure - Whether your original valve has perished from dry seals or took a knock on the field - this Raven Magazine Input Valve is the direct factory replacement designed to get your gas blowback pistol back in the fight - Specifically engineered for the Raven EU (G-Series) and 226 series - this valve ensures a tight - high-pressure seal every time you "gas up" -

Key Features & Performance

• Dual O-Ring Design - Features a high-quality internal seal and a seated base O-ring to prevent "hissing" during the filling process -
• High-Flow Internal Pin - Designed to allow Green Gas or CO2 to flow freely into the reservoir without freezing the valve shut -
• Robust Brass Construction - CNC-machined brass body offers superior thread durability compared to cheaper alloy alternatives -
• Universal Raven Fitment - A perfect "drop-in" fit for the entire Raven EU17 - EU18 - and R226 lineups -
• Standard Threading - While designed for Raven - the threading is compatible with many other WE-spec gas magazines -

The Pro Take

In the workshop - we see a lot of "venting" issues that players think require a whole new magazine - More often than not - it is just a fouled input valve - What we like about the Raven spares is the consistency of the threading - They bite well and do not strip easily - provided you use a proper valve key - Keeping a couple of these in your "save-a-day" kit is a pro-tier move - especially during the colder months when O-rings are more prone to shrinking and leaking -

UK Spec & Site Performance

Playing in the UK means dealing with "four seasons in one day" - Temperature fluctuations at a damp woodland site can cause seals to expand and contract rapidly - leading to leaks - This Raven valve is tested to handle the standard UK pressure of Green Gas (around 100-120 PSI) which typically keeps your EU17 within the 300-330 FPS limit required by most UK CQB and woodland sites - It is a vital component for ensuring your RIF remains UKARA-compliant and gas-efficient - so you are not wasting half a bottle of gas just trying to fill one mag in the safe zone -

Friendly FAQ

Will this fit my Raven EU17 or EU18?

Yes - this is the standard input valve for the entire Raven EU series - as well as the R226 and R229 models -

Do I need a special tool to install this?

While you can sometimes use a wide flat-head screwdriver - we strongly recommend using a dedicated "Valve Key" to avoid marring the brass or damaging the filling pin -

Should I lubricate the valve before fitting?

Absolutely - a tiny drop of pure silicone oil on the O-rings before installation will help create a perfect seal and extend the life of the rubber -
