The Stanceparts 3-Way Valve is strongly recommended to operate the Air Cups. With this valve, you don't need any gauges. This is a new version, and it consumes more power, so you may need to replace the switch (thicker wire).
Not required for front-only kits (1 valve, 1 switch), necessary for front + rear kits (2 valves, 1 switch).
Switch on: the air cups automatically goes to their highest position.
Switch off: the air cups deflates and goes to their lowest position.
Includes
- 12v 3-way valve with 6mm fittings and outlet silencer
Why the change?
The previous valve sometimes had issues with moisture from the air tank, especially when tanks weren’t drained often enough, causing the valve to leak. The new valve is more reliable and designed to prevent these problems.
Important:
The new valve consumes more power, so we now use upgraded wiring from the switch.
When replacing valves in existing kits, please ensure:
- Front-only kits (1 valve, 1 switch): It’s a direct replacement, no changes needed.
- Front + rear kits (2 valves, 1 switch): You’ll need to replace the switch (or upgrade the wiring) to handle the extra power.
Other than that, it’s a straightforward replacement. We’ve also left out the adjustable speed control valves these are no longer needed. The old valve was too fast when fully open, but this new valve operates at a slightly slower speed, so there’s no need to adjust it.
Note: This update doesn’t mean the old valves are unusable, most work perfectly fine, with only a few cases of issues. There’s no need to recall sold products. If they start leaking, they will, of course, be replaced under warranty with the new valves.
