I got my outdoor bladder from my roommate a couple of years back. Now that I need to change the valve, the new valve doesn't have a hole in it, why?

You're right, the new valve doesn't have a hole; however you can easily make the hole - the plastic is possibly pre-templated (is that a word?), you know what I mean, so that putting a hole in it is easy. Just be careful you don't make the hole to big or the valve will leak - not fun. Good luck!

There was a insert that came with part that fits inside. You take a ratchet with extension on it and turn clockwise, this is after you've put the past in the hole. As you turn the insert it tightens up on the tank, Keep turning until tight, turn on water and make sure it doesn't leak past if it does tighten some more, remove insert and store somewhere where thou can find it again. It's really quite simple just takes some time tightening it up.

I used a small tooth pick to hold the valve open,, rolled up nicely completely deflated, hope this helps (just be careful not to damage the valve, pinch it and look inside, you'll see how it works,,, pinch it, slide the toothpick in and bingo)

I have the hole as well. I don't believe so. I thought it was strange too...but it worked great so I didn't worry about it.

Hey adjuster Jim, I have the same problem. I have an Everlast 4210 speedbag that all of sudden starting leaking, so I started looking online for a replacement. One guys review said he repaired the leak. That's what I'm going to attempt with some "Green Slime" or "Fix-a-Flat" or maybe a bicycle tube repair kit. Sorry I couldn't give you an answer on the Title replacement bladder. If my attempts at fixing the leak are unsuccessful, I'll be looking again.

The small plastic tube that goes to the bottom is not part of the valve and can be substituted for a longer one if u need. I will check how long is this tube that came with the valve.

It could be that the valve is stuck. My manual suggests making sure that it is clean. If it is coming out around the edges, then you need to check the sealer ring and make sure it is in good shape and seated properly.

You can do a hack and replace the valve that comes on it with one of these. Works awesome for me. http://www.amazon.com/Michelin-Avenir-Replacement-Bicycle-Floor/dp/B002K2H5T0/ref=pd_sim_sg_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0TSQM30A7K3QT00M5GKS

i did replace the spigot with something similar that i bought in a regular hardware store. i took the jug to make sure the holes are the correct size

I changed out ours....the original was cheap and too narrow a flow. It was easy to change it over to a new one.

The holes are to big for the air chambers not for the actual intake valve. I ended up going to the dealer and buying the part because the shipping took to long. I kept the part because I hear this is a common problem so the next time if it occurs I will adjust the part to work.It is twice as much at the dealer but you get everything and is fixed in 15 minutes.

Yes the air chamber is the same as the bladder. It comes with the valve, although the valve is also available separately, but I am not sure how you would replace the valve anyway. Bill

I had to take the toilet out of the RV (which was fairly simple: disconnected the water line and removed toilet from base). Note how the old valve comes out and then do the reverse to put the new one in. Hope that helps.

I get one... and i do not get any issue with it, the pillow area works for me... the only issue i get now its deflating a lot...and i can not get the hole maybe is the valve... i do not want to loss it.. but i don´t know how to replace it and even if there is a replace for it

The shower head connection must be rerouted to a lower spot. The new panel will cover the existing hole, but a new valve must be installed at a lower location.

I am not sure what happened, but if the yellow pressure relief valve blew out there was either too much pressure or the valve was somehow broken or otherwise defective. If it is completely out, it probably cannot be re-inserted. The black washer fits in the groove around the top.

Write to Matt at Geigerrig and ask. My concern with it is the water may contact any glue (assuming you glue a piece of the old bladder on the new one), which may not be so healthy. +1 on the warranty, and the customer service is amazing.
