Is this cap the old "M1" with the valve's internal metal spring exposed? Or, the new design with internal rubber cone-shaped protective sleeve?

The cap I received was the new design with the internal rubber, cone-shaped protective sleeve.

Yes - unscrew the cap, and reverse the little green insert with the spring inside. Screw the cap back on, and you will be good to go ;)

There is a stainless steel spring inside, but it is covered with a silicone rubber cap that acts as the valve seal. Liquid is never in contact with the metal. The spring is necessary to press the valve seal against the valve seat when the spigot is closed.

The kit that I recieved included a square stem cast into the handle and a plastic adapter for the older style circular cap (which is what I needed). This single handle looks much nicer then the clear plastic handle that I had previously.

The valve body is heavy metal. The internal ball is shiny metallic and appears to be metal also.

There is a small plastic cap, mine was yellow or green (can't remember) that is screwed onto the valve assembly. It is where you screw on one of the plastic nozzles. The valve can be pushed through to the inside of the cap so you can clean it. As no nozzle is attached when it is shipped, they put a transportation lock on the valve to prevent it from falling into the unit.

There is a small, flat, squarish "u" shaped retainer clip that must be pulled away from the shaft of the replaceable cylinder. It is seated through a very thin slot in the brass part of the cylinder and surrounds the two "higher" clear plastic features on the valve handle end of the cylinder. Once that is removed, pull the brass control shaft with a needle-nose pliers, (it will be stiff). Once you have replaced with the new cylinder, you will need to realign those "higher" plastic features with the in-brass slots and the retainer clip replaced. The control handle is removed and replaced with a phillips screw. after th cover plate is popped off with a flat screwdriver or knife.

The interior is a vinyl or similar, it does not look like rubber. The exterior feels like cloth. Maybe they are bonded together. If you're concerned about allergic reaction you should contact the manufacturer to be sure. The cap is water tight.

That's actually the one I have and while it works great it is NOT a solid construction and does have exposed plastic via the clear fluid level indicator.

I have had no issues with standard/normal valve stems. This covers most of the vehicles I have from a motorcycle to SUV. I have read if you have it slipping off to rotate the orientation of the hose 180. The "grabber/holder" catches the threads for the valve cap so it is possible to catch a top of a thread and have it not stay. No issues for me though!!

My old version did, that is why I went to the new model. The new model does not run the rubber tube through the spout any longer. I seemed to be deteriorating over time, so the new version corrects that problem.

yes. the picture shows a cap over the standard threads, so it looks different. The cap is plastic and can be discarded.

No it does not. And the old cap cover from the previous version does not fit on the 3.0 since the spout is wider and the spout itself is made of a softer plastic/rubbery material.

It has a rubber part inside the head. You have to unscrew the mountain fue and then turn this rubber adapter in order to change the valve.

The product is remodeled. The previous model did not have any sort of protection between the battery housing and the water reservior. I think it is a better design. .
