All O-rings have a finite life span, but RAVEqc quick-connect air valves are made with O-rings that have been proven to provide reliable actuations in the lab without problems. In addition, each valve is manufactured and tested to ensure it is ready for use when purchased. When O-rings do eventually wear out in RAVEqc quick-connect air valves, it is far more common for the failure to occur in the male valve because the mechanism that opens flow between the male and female valves requires a stem in the female valve to pass through the O-ring in the male valve. This is normal, but it does mean that male valves are likely to wear out before their female counterparts.
Will the O-ring in a RAVEqc quick-connect air valve eventually wear out?
