Lightweight aluminum gas canister valve for backpackers with instant-click fitting
Product Description
When every gram counts, our lightweight aluminum gas canister valve keeps your pack light and your stove roaring. Weighing just 28 g, the aerospace-grade aluminum body sheds ounces without sacrificing strength. A hardened stainless stem resists galling, while the instant-click bayonet locks onto any standard threaded or non-threaded canister in one second. The valve’s precision orifice delivers consistent BTU output from boiling morning coffee to simmering gourmet sauces on the Pacific Crest Trail. An integrated pressure-compensating tube maintains steady flow even when the canister is nearly empty or inverted for cold-weather priming. Silicone insulation on the knob prevents freeze burns at sub-zero temps, and the bright red color makes the valve easy to spot in dim dawn light. Each unit is 100 % leak-tested and shipped with a protective dust cap, ensuring your gas canister valve arrives trail-ready.
