I have some wonderful news I’d love to share with everyone. RTI has been working on improving the assist valve in the Prophet2.
This year I had the wonderful opportunity to go to IWA in Nuremberg, Germany. While in Germany, I got to meet the incredible talented people of RTI. In our conversation, I asked them they were aware that the valves on the Prophet2 was experiencing problems. In fact they were, their lead designer shared their prototype valve design with me. I have to admit, I liked the design. Now, three weeks latter I received a package from RTI yesterday with the new valves.
This valve is going to be very easy to replace. It fits exactly in the same way that the original valve fits. The improved design benefited with a stronger material, new sealing ring locater, o-ring placement and spring centering point.
New valve
Here’s a picture of gen2, gen3, and now gen4.
Gen1 the only difference between gen2 is the hole size in the balance. The gen 1 has a larger hole. The smaller hole improves the dwell timing of the valve opening on the higher power guns.
If you’re experiencing problems with your valve. Please fill free to reach out to me. They sent me a few extra valves. I’d be more the happy to share my good fortune.
