14-way valve, small leak?

[nagel]

It sounds like my 14 way valve has a small leak. I can only hear it if you remove the sight rail or back plate and then put your ear against the gun.

If i push and hold the orange button on the 14 way, the sound stops but returns as soon as I release it. I tried to clean the 14 way out and inspected the O-rings in it for any wear but I couldn't find any.
I also replaced all the O-rings in the gun and lubed it up realy well, but the leak i still there.

Is there anything I can do about it except getting a new 14-way valve. The gun works just fine but still it's anoying...

I had that same problem. But I took off my 14-way and lubed the bottum gasket and then tightened it down pretty tight.

Thanks mate, but I've already tried that.

I think maybe that it's the small O rings inside the valve that is the problem, is it possible to buy them separate?

I've just been down that road, and the answer is.....no way!!! I own both LED and LCD Angels, and my LED started to leak a bit, so I tried and tried to track down the seals, but they are not standard seals that you can purchase, and you can't buy them seperately from WDP. If it is the seals in your 14-way, you're going to have to replace the whole thing. If it's anything like the LED, I feel sorry for you man. The spool alone for the LED is $90 from angelparts.com and the whole 14-way is $350. I assume the LCD 14-way is a little cheaper, but it's still going to hurt.

Just a thought, I have a LCD with a low shot count that I can part out(damaged body). I'd sell the 14-way for less than a new one.

Oki, thats what I feared.

I'll guess that I'll keep it like it is. The leak isn't affecting the performance. If I wouldn't be so damn curiouse I would never have found it... :doh:

Thanks for the offer but I live in Sweden, I'll just keep it as it is or I'm going to give WDP a call if I can't stand it.

You might want to contact Warped Sportz, or Angel-Parts by phone. They should have them.

I have to call a tech center and price a new one first. The marker has low shots, but has a damaged body. I figure half of the new price is fair. I've got two clear anodized(chrome look) gripframes for sale also. $60 each.

i had a 14-way leak and i just took it apart and lubed up the o-rings inside really good and now the leak is gone.

how is the body damaged? is this damaged beyond repair? is this the one that had the hammer come loose and it tore up the insides? I'm just curious...

Emmit.....No, dented in LPR chamber with stripped threads. Don't know what happened, maybe run over by a car???...lol

New cost on the 14-way is $185 at angelparts.com. I've decided I don't really want to sell mine for $90(better as a spare), but they also quoted me a spool for $89, so maybe you can just replace that and be good to go.....

I dont understand why you are buying a whole new 14 - way. You might want to try contacting a authorized tech center. Try WarpedSportz, The Angel Guy, Angel Parts, or Performance Angel.

Good call warped. I dont understand why that wasnt one of the forst suggestions. RKJ check your mail I pm'ed you about the body.
