Hi all
I've seen a few queries about fitting a different type of valve to the various urns out there so I thought I'd share my take on it. This has worked for me with no problems and it may help you. I have a Birko but I'm sure it will apply to any urn (I also did it to the crappy ebay urn before getting seeing the light).
Step 1 is to remove the old valve. I used two big shifters as the urn wall is thin and you will warp it. The Birko was quite tough, but go steady and be patient.
