WE HPA Magazine Valves
These are WE HPA magazine valves, made for compatible WE gas magazines. They are parts for players who run, or want to run, their WE gas blowback replica on HPA (high pressure air) rather than green gas.
WE is one of the best-known makers of gas blowback pistols and rifles, and HPA has become a popular way to run them. Air from a regulated tank gives steady performance that does not drop away in cold weather the way green gas can, and you do not need to fill each magazine from a can. Spare valves are useful for converting more magazines or replacing worn ones.
About HPA magazine setups
In a typical HPA setup for a gas blowback replica, a regulated air supply feeds the magazine through a line instead of the magazine holding its own gas. The magazine must have a suitable valve or connector so it can accept the air supply, and the regulator must be set to a pressure that suits the replica.
Our listing does not say exactly which WE magazines these valves fit, how many are in the pack, or how they connect to your line. Please check the product images and contact us with your magazine model if you are unsure.
Fitting
Fitting a magazine valve usually means removing the original valve with the correct tool and fitting the new one in its place. Release all gas from the magazine first, and take your time so you do not damage the threads or seals. If you are new to HPA, ask an experienced technician to help with your first conversion.

Care and maintenance
Keep valves clean and free of grit, and put a drop of silicone oil on the seals when you fit them and now and then afterwards. Never use petroleum-based oils, which can damage seals.
Check for leaks after fitting by connecting the air supply and listening for hissing. Always disconnect the air and release pressure before working on a magazine, and store spare valves in a small, dry container.
Who is it for?
These valves suit WE gas blowback owners who run HPA, or want to start, and need valves for extra magazines or replacements for worn ones.
