Which end is the "one way valve" on? The end with the zipper? or the sealed end? Tbhanks

The one-way valve is on the opposite end of the zipper. Roll it up from the zipper end, and you'll hear the air going out of the one-way valve.

Sealed end. Roll bag from the zippered end toward the sealed end, taking your time and pressing on it (or using your knee if you have it on the floor) till the "sealed" end burps or whooshes as air is forced out.

Yep. It's a bit confusing. The valve is on the end OPPOSITE the blue strip you seal with the white thingy. Don't overstuff the packing bag and start rolling with the stack of clothes nearest the blue strip. Leave about. 4-5 inches space from the clear end before you start rolling. This is because the clothes will creep forward as you roll. Hope this helps. I love them and they're reusable. Happy Travels!

It's on the "sealed" end. It rather surprised me. The first time you have to put a fair amount of pressure to open the valve, and it's rather surprising how well it works.

It's not on the zipper end - the zipper end only releases the vacuum. Your problem is that they are very difficult to spot but they will work. Having said that, if you don't have enough pressure only one or two of them may open. You will build up your wrist muscles and it helps to have a husky kid around for extra weight, but it will work and it will do a good job.(The 20 pack was so cheap that I got it on a whim. I figured if a couple of them didn't hold, I had more to use. I used 5, my son used 5 and we left 10 home.)

No it is a two way valve, I am very satisfied with it the only problem is it is a bit difficult to turn. It is well made.

If you leave the valve open, then it wouldn't matter what way you put it on. If you have any other questions we would be happy to help. Cody Camping Connection 866-576-8171

the one way valves are cleverly hidden. lay on the sucker until you are sure it's going to pop and then all of a sudden the bottom of the bag farts and you can see the exiting air vents. These were a really great deal.

Hi Michelle, no the one way valve is not a typo. The first time you use the bag it does feel like you're going to "pop" it. I felt the same way. Once you seal it roll it toward the bottom. It will pop, but that is just the valve at the end of the bag opening to let the air out. After the first time it won't do that anymore. Hope this helps!

Push the valve to one side to release pressure. Not sure if that was designed like that but it works

It's just a common garden hose connector. I used a little Teflon plumbers tape to get a good seal, otherwise the plastic connector with the metal hose end had a little drip. (Which dripped into the catch bucket so no big deal.)

Mine only zips at one end. My zipper no longer zips. It fell apart shortly after putting it on.

It's a three way valve!!It's not a check valve, but I guess you could use it with a secondary discharge pipe so you can manually switch the location of the discharge.

The sealed plastic is like a zip-top. There is a very very thin slit that you need to get a fingernail into so you can pop the seal.

I picked up a cheap one at wal mart , you will need one that has a few different ends . Due to fact most air valves are different.

You zip it up ALL THE WAY - push the zipper under the lock. The end you grab on the zipper will be sticking out, but when you push the lock down to lock it, you will not be able to pull the zipper open. Make sense?

Its a garage door. You can keep it zipped and only use one side as a way in.

You can order it either way. The one I ordered from Amazon was a side zipper model. The other model closes on the bottom using Velcro and no zipper.

You are buying the valve shown in the picture. Both of those dimensions seem a bit off; it fits in the palm of your hand. I installed it about a month ago and I haven't had any problems with it. It gets used at least once a day, and it hasn't started leaking or anything. Obviously I can't tell you how it holds up over time, but so far so good. Thanks

There is some sort of code on the sealed end of the tube but I can't decipher it. Sorry.

My valve cover has a PVC valve and a breather so I have 2 coming off the valve cover they both go into the left and right side of the can, there isn't an outlet port the valve on the bottom is the oil drain when the can gets full it must be drained, hope this helps
