The Proconnect3 comes with 3 replacement o-rings. The UFA o-ring is NOT one of them. The only one that ever fails is the valve top o-ring ( see video). The other two are the valve o-ring and the poppet o-ring. I've never seen a valve o-ring fail (it never moves) and I have only seen two poppet o-rings fail. You can see both in Area Fifty One's "Proconnect3 Complete Disassemble" video on the right., I don't recommend you try doing it though. Joao's just showing off. :)
Hi doug, I just bought a valken pro connect and it's leaking from the UFA out of the box, i took it apart and the o-ring seems fine, what could be the issue? I had to remove the knob so I could completely remove the pin and look at the o ring.
The depressing pin is not attached to the adjustment knob. That way it does grind and twist the pin in your pin valve. (like some of our competitors). Air (or CO2) pressure pushes the depressing pin back up. When there is no pressure , the tank is shut, and there is no need for the depressing pin to go any higher.

Ok you had (3) o-rings and you showed where (2) go on your videos where does the last one go?
Thanks
The problem I have is that the UFA knob wont retract the depressing pin, is this a huge problem, or a problem at all?
