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 –
