Sport Ball Inflation Valve Kit (5 Replacement Valves) for Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball and Football

Fixed a nike merlin 2019/2020 elite level ball with a leaky valve ($160 new). I couldn’t remove the original valve entirely without dropping a piece of it inside the ball, but it does not affect its performance. It was difficult to add the new valve to the ball, but I got it done, and it held air. I did have to open up the hole a bit by carefully cutting the edges with a razor (you can’t tell). I write this review after playing one sunday league soccer match. It’s been 3 days since I last pumped it, and all is good.

Product was exactly what I needed to stop my v-ball from a slow lead. Was not sure it was the valve but once I used it, I do not have any leaks now. Good amount of spares in case other sports balls start to leak.

Received an envelope with a plastic tube inside however not a single valve was in the tube.. just an instruction paper. I want the valves I paid for

Great for the tachikara SV-5WSC ball. Works well but it requires some elbow grease. Instead of using the tool to insert new valve directly through the valve, I took previous reviews advice to insert from the outer ring of valve which worked better. This helped save me 30 bucks. Hopefully no more leaking.

I purchased this to repair a boat fender valve. No different than football, basketball air valves. Well my $60.00 boat fender is now trash, in the garbage. In all cases this should have worked if better instructions. Getting the old valve out was simple enough. Instructions varied for inserting the new valve depending on the source. Instructions with the kit said to use the rounded side of the tool provided for installation which didn't work. Their video on YouTube showed using a socket on a socket hand tool to insert the valve. Video with no talking. I couldn't get that to work neither, however after cleaning the hole some and using the socket method got it to push through only to have not only the valve to go completely through due to the required force for inserting the valve but the socket to come off when pulling out. Thus had to slice open the fender to retrieve my socket destroying the $60.00 fender. Guess I could have left the socket rattle aroung inside a tried another valve. The manufacturer needs to have better instructions. Installation instructions with the product and video should be the same not different. Video should also show various products on installation. Should also recommend the required hole size and thickness or the product you are trying to use this valve for. The flange diameter on the valve is what was having a hard time gettpushed through. It could work for you and then again it might not. Just a word of warning from my experience.

The photo with all the valves is a photo of a photo; you get five valves like the description says. The other reviews are helpful. From them, I decided to support the old valve from underneath by scrunching up the ball while inserting the tool so that the valve wouldn't fall into the ball. When pulling the tool out, I couldn't catch the old valve right away. I tried maybe six times. I finally got the old valve out with a different crochet hook. When the old valve came out, it was ripped lengthwise. That probably made it easier to remove from the ball. To put the new one in, I pushed the new valve down until the wider ring was resting on the leather surface of the ball. Using the tip of needle nosed pliers, I pushed one section of this wider ring down into the hole in the leather surface of the ball and worked my way around the ring pushing down until the whole ring had gone down below the surface of the ball. I pumped up the ball and it held air. The new valve was sticking up about 4mm. I took an X-acto knife and trimmed it flush with the ball. I am very happy with results and I will invite any four friends with a leaky ball to come to me so I can try to fix theirs.

Product showed up and was everything as advertised. Marked 2 stars ONLY because we purchased this kit to repair a couple of AMERICAN FOOTBALL Wilson footballs... not soccer balls. I researched a pretty long time and a lot of different places to try and get that clarification on "football", but could not find it. At least for the Wilson footballs, they have a specialized bladder that incorporates the valve, so it was not possible to get the old valve out with this kit. Wilson does offer a service where they replace the entire bladder for $45... shipping and handling all on them... came back in really good time and service was great. I'm keeping this kit to try on soccer or basketball balls.

As Advertised! the old valve was dry rotted and crumbling so I was not sure if I would be able to extract it or if it would fall apart and get stuck in the ball. So I deflated the ball enough to put press the the back of the stem through the deflated ball while trying to push the stem remover (the crochet needle) through the valve. Initially I had no luck pushing it through. I then tried adding a small drop of olive oil in the valve. tried again and BAM! it slid right in. extracted the old valve and from the picture you might see that some of the valve is missing. that was left in the ball, again because it was so dryrotted. I was luckily able to get the piece out by shaking and forcing are out of the hole.Inserting the new valve was pretty easy. as recommended, used a screwdriver socket tip to hold and push the new valve all the way in. 4 days now Still holding air!will be trying with one of my molten flistatec balls. if that works as well I will update!
