Empire Aluminium Valve Protector

If we could recommend something in the strongest terms, it would be one of these aluminium valve protectors. You spend a fortune on your new bottle, drop it valve down, result, bent valve.

Fitting one of these valve protectors is an absolute no brainer, it will litterally save you a small fortune in damaged bottle regs.

The top of the protector also has a place to keep a spare O ring. - Brilliant!!

Shown in red, but the colour does vary.
