I bought (from a Huben authorized vendor in the US) a Huben Max-ATH 50cc Universal regulator for my AirForce Talon SS, pre-Spin-Loc. The valve won't fully screw into the regulator, leaving about a 3/32" gap between the valve's base and the regulator. It looks like it needs a relief cut in the regulator threads to accommodate the small collar at the base of the valve. I don't know if this is a manufacturing defect or not at this point. I have an email in to the vendor and he responded promptly and said he'd never seen that problem but that he'd do some looking and check for me. The group here is perhaps a larger universe, so I thought I'd post the photos here and ask if anyone else has seen this.
Notice the collar at the base of the threads of the AirForce valve
No matching relief cut at the start of the threads in the Huben regulator
The collar is the same diameter as the crests of the threads
I'll keep the vendor out of this at this point. I think he's trying to figure out what happened too. I wonder if this is a one-off manufacturing defect where somebody forgot to put the relief cut in for the collar, or a design flaw that Huben hadn't anticipated. Anybody else seen this?
