Hi,
I recently had to order a new valve rod for my FX Impact. I purchased it from EuropeAirguns and received it today.
The valve rod appears to be a significant upgrade compared to the one that was in my impact. I’m not sure why the design has changed, but it looks like it should be able to handle more pressure for heavy slugs.
"New Fx Impact 2025 valve for all models, improves performance."
See picture below
After installing it, I noticed no difference in performance for my tune. The only change I observed is during installation of the hammer seat: normally, you screw it onto the valve rod, push it into the block, and measure 6 mm from the block to the end of the hammer seat. With this new valve rod, that distance is now roughly 5 mm.
