Thanks Phil 👍😁

A couple of tips. 7/16 bit is 11.11mm which is .39mm smaller than the 11.5mm/.453" RIM valve stem making a better tighter seal and you don't need to spend $10 on a bit you will only use for this. Valve puller tools also come in handy if you already have one to pull it through without worrying about damaging it with pliers. Also 20mm/.866" Long stems are shorter and have less clearance issues. Great vid through, straight to the point.

The drill bit 7/16 used didn’t work. That wasn’t a good tip. Too small for the valve to fit. Use what the guy says.

@@leexiong9962 I’ve done 20 of these with a 7/16s but and a valve stem puller with zero issues. If the valve stem you’re using is larger than 11.5mm/.453” then yes you will have an issue which is why I specified those dimensions in my post.

Good video topic Phil I did the same to all of mine . They work so mush better than hand pumping so much.

Converted 3 pump sprayers using your exact instructions (29/64ths indeed!) about an hour ago. Easy, peasy. Works perfectly. I used some Sil-Glyde (Silicone) lubricant on both the nipple and the bottle to aid in pulling it through the hole and seating properly. Like you, I found using a pair of Channellocks really helps! Thanks for the great tip and explanation.

Mind blown!

Use some silicone base grease to slide the valve through the hole Silicone grease would not affect rubber as petroleum base lubricant does, it corrodes rubber. Don’t use wd40 (Water Dissipation 40) it’s not a lubricant. It dissipates water, humidity, that’s what it does, after using wd40 you have to clean the parts and use some real lubricant if that’s what you want, to lubricate Plumbers grease is the one that you want. To check for leaks, mix soap-water, dish soap, foam it up and spread it around valve. If you see bubbles popping, that’s a leak I would doubt that you have a leak as the grease would help to avoid that

Tip: before pulling the valve thru, spray a little wd40 or foaming glass cleaner on it. It’ll slide thru a bit easier. 😁

Curious if this would void any warranty from factory? Also is Miranda a Firefly reference?

@thedetailingworkshop2689

That really depends on how you're using it. for a quick app rinse you can get all around one vehicle before you need to refill. but also if you fill the bottle with too much product there isn't enough room for the air and it needs to be filled more often. lots of variables on that one.

a little soap on the valve where it meets the plastic...will pull thru much easier
