I have read reviews on some valves from other companies that they can explode and fly off the helium tank. Is this a beter one?

I have used this in several Walmart stores to blow up thousands of balloons. They are excellent. They do NOT leak helium, and stop helium flow to mylar balloons when they are supposed to. I'd consider these definitely commercial-grade use inflators. I do not recommend those made by Zephyr. Those leak helium and can overinflate so balloons explode.

I have sold hundreds of these and the only problem I have had is the shipping companies damaging them in transit. To fix that, last year we started heavily wrapping them in bubble wrap, and haven't had a problem since. I have a feeling the exploding regulators are inferior knock offs sent by some of these other sellers.

This is a better quality than the one I purchased from different company in the past. I'm still using it on weekly basis with no problems, close to a year since I purchased it.

I have not tried it but with a clip to hold the gas in, it might. I am a retired florist. We used hi-float to make the helium last longer in a latex balloon. I am wondering if that would work even better in these balloons. Contact your local florist and see if they carry it. They should also have the clips.

I have had no problem with the valve. It inflated with no problems and stayed inflated. I used it at work on my chair for more support on my back.

Yes but I don't like it on line due to staying on all the time. You have to turn valve off at the tank to stop air flow.

These valves aren't designed to be energized for long periods. They generate quite a bit of heat when energized. The normally closed position will definitely shut off water in a no power situation but if you want the valve to be open at all times unless the power goes out, you should probably look for a different product as this will quickly burn out.

Hi Yara,Don't buy it - it is cheap junk that blew out a water valve after 8 months. Customer support was surly and rude. I sure wish I was at home when this junk unit spewed out $100.00 worth of water from the inlet valve. RUN! - only trying to help by telling you my experience! -Jim

I would strongly suggest against it. Over pressurizing can lead to the canister exploding. I saw one go once. Pretty scary.

It is not at all a cheap fitting. It's a very heavy brass fitting with a strong spring clamp. That said, it works terribly! It usually stays quite firmly on the valve stem, but will leak air if not held at the right angle. So, you just have to hold it while operating. Fortunately, the device can be operated with one hand so it's not a problem. All in all, this is a great device, and made from very high quality components. I don't know why it's so hard to design a quick-release chuck that works well, but evidently it is, as nobody else seems to have much luck. This is better than any I've tried, but the short answer is "no" it doesn't seal well. It is not at all a cheap fitting. It's a very heavy brass fitting with a strong spring clamp.

The people who make these valves are very nice and helpful.... check their web site for your answer... if its not on their web site drop them an email and they'll get back to you.... I have at least 10 vehicles on this product and love them... I sorry I can't give a more specific answer...

i have never blowed out a pressure valve and the handle is NOT flimsy. if you use it right, it works right

Theoretically. But I'd have a professional check out the valve and replace if necessary. High pressure can be dangerous.

Well, you can only use bags with valves. I suppose there are some other brands you can use, but maybe it won't be so easy to suck all the air out from a different-sized valve. Anyway, because of the overpriced Waring vaacum bags - Worth trying. BUT - if you use it for boiling - always make sure the other bags are boiling proof and BPA free. Good luck!

I really don't know, but I found out that it had way too much air in it and if you use the valve you can let some of it out. I felt like I was going to fall off of it. Don't do what I did before I knew about the valve and punch a hole in it to let the air out.

The air hose has a standard quick release. You could connect any air operated device. The compressor does not have much of a storage tank so I don't think you would get a prolonged high pressure blast from it but it might work if you just need to blow something out quickly. You would be better off with a compressor with a large tank if you need lots of high pressure air for cleaning or running air tools. This compressor is really for inflating tires and does that extremely well.

Yes it needs to be blown up lije a balloon, however I am very dissatisfied with tge product, it had a leak in 2/3 places which I couldn't replace being outside AMAZON ZONE.
