🌬️ Source Tactical Storm Valve Kit - High-Flow Push-Pull Storm Valve - Easy Connection with QMT Quick Connect Mechanism - Dirt Shield for Dust and Pollution Protection, Black, OneSize Review

Wrong size for my Osprey bladder. Nowhere does it say the pipes are different sizes and this one is only for large water pipes. Return to the drawing board. It should be noted somewhere that they are not universal, they must have the dimensions of the hoses and the correct bite valve to match the size of the hose.

The bite valve was removed from the MSR dromedary hose adapter which worked fine. I just don't like it. Remove the source o-ring and leave the source valve o-ring on the MSR bite valve by heating the end of the MSR hose in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. The tricky part is fitting the hot end of the tubing onto the Source mouthpiece. I did it with patience and a few choice words. Works great and fits tight. Be patient, if I can do it, others can too.

I had an old cheap hydration bladder that I used on vacations with a lousy bite valve that was worn out. I wanted a bite free option and found this. Of course, when I received it, I found that it is much larger than my tube from a cheap bag. Even though it was cheap the bladder still works perfectly and I didn't want to buy a new one so I had to get tricky. Boil a pot of water and soak the end of the hose in the water for a minute or two. Then use something to pry it enough for its end to fit…
