valve received on time. Installed and everything became functional with it. Last weekend we went on a 3 day hike to test everything that works properly. The OEM valve, on the other hand, had a threaded brass cap at the bottom so you could open it and service it if necessary. This has a black plastic cap glued to it, making it impossible to service anything with it. I'm old school and prefer to be able to fix things, if only temporarily, when I'm on the road and can't get replacements right away, but I guess those days are mostly gone. :-(
