Default UP Valves

I have got a UP valve but I don'y know if its a UP2 or a UP3 valve. How can I tell the difference by looking at it?

You've only ever bought UP2's from us...

Put air on the centre nipple and operate the slide, air will come out of the two nipples along side the input, then if it's a UP 2 the opposite two nipple will either give air twice (up2) or once (up3)

regards

Dave

Thanks Dave. This valve is from a jet I bought, lightly crashed, for spares.

If you can't get that thing back in the air in a week or so, you shouldn't be flying jets.

(I guess I'll be quitting today [&o])

If the UP valve came outta that hornet it was a UP3 because hornets need the doors open when the gear are down.
