Default retract valve

I've noticed this retract valve on some gear installations, just wondering who makes it?

Thanks,
Don

If you would post a picture we could see, we might be able to assist.

It's that retract valve that comes with Yellow Aircraft kits. The little black one that looks like a really cheap robart imitation.

I've used 5 of them. Three of the five I've used were worthless.

If that's the kind of valve you want to use, get the robart one.

Perhaps with a smaller thumbnail, we could be of less help. [8D]

Thanks for telling me that the picture I posted was to small to notice that it was black, unlike the BVM, U.P valves and nearly all others other than the Yellow aircraft retract valve! I just assumed that if you were familiar with this valve that you'd be EASILY able to identify it. Here's another LARGER one for those of you who can't notice that it looks black.
Thanks Shaun for your help. Your Right,....it is a yellow aicraft retract valve!
Thanks very much
Don

Looks like a Robart valve. Over the years, they have produced these in several colors.
