Description
APS CO2 Valve for APS D-Mod Pistol Magazine (AC061)
This is a genuine APS replacement CO2 valve, part number AC061, for APS D-Mod pistol magazines. APS (Asia Pacific Simulation) is a well-known maker of gas pistols and rifles, and its D-Mod pistols, such as the XTP-based models, use dedicated CO2 magazines.
Valves do a lot of work in a CO2 magazine and they wear over time. A tired valve can leak, release gas unevenly or fail to release enough gas, all of which make a pistol inconsistent or stop it cycling properly. Replacing the valve is often all it takes to bring a magazine back into good working order.
Signs a valve needs replacing
Common signs include a slow leak from the magazine with a capsule fitted, gas venting when you fire, weak or inconsistent shots, or the pistol not cycling as it should even with a fresh capsule. Before replacing the valve, check that the capsule seal and other seals are in good condition, as these can cause similar symptoms.
Fitting
Always remove the CO2 capsule and make sure the magazine is completely empty of gas before you start. Valves are usually removed with a suitable valve key or tool; use the correct tool to avoid damaging the valve seat. Fit the new valve firmly but do not over-tighten, then test the magazine with a fresh capsule before taking it to a game.
Key features
- Replacement CO2 valve for APS D-Mod magazines
- Genuine APS part, number AC061
- Helps cure leaks and inconsistent gas flow
- Brings tired magazines back into service
Compatibility
Made for APS D-Mod pistol CO2 magazines. APS also makes green gas magazines for some D-Mod pistols, which may use different parts, so check that your magazine is the CO2 type and confirm your model before ordering.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of CO2-safe oil on the tip of each new capsule before fitting it to keep the seals in good condition. Do not leave a capsule in the magazine for long periods, as constant pressure wears seals and valves. Keep magazines clean and free of grit.
Who is it for?
This valve suits owners of APS D-Mod pistols with a leaking or underperforming CO2 magazine, and technicians who maintain APS gas pistols.
Please note: Always remove the CO2 capsule and empty the magazine before working on it, and wear eye protection when working on gas equipment.
