22xx valve question.

[beejwest]

Need a new valve stem seal for a factory  22xx (see my wanted add).

That said, does any other material work there?  Tried an orange  C02 cart seal and that created some sort of valve lock.  I think it was too soft.  Hardware store fixes?

22xx valve stem is generally not a repairable item.

That said...if you just want to have a go at fixing it for giggles, might try the urethane like plastic used as an inserted seal in some pop/soda bottles, or the soft-ish plastic used to make lids for some grocery cans...ie coffee.

Don't think either will break the bank, but won't guarantee they will work either.

For other stems, and with access to machine tools...teflon, nylatron or delrin/acetal all work very well.
