My parkers are 8 years old never had a problem with them. Hell they've been with me through 3 cars.

my vote is parker...we have put them on 100's of cars and trucks and have never had a problem. also i like them the best cause to me the look the best and are very easy to work on if you need to...i ran them all...Smc would be my second choice but i have had problems with them leaking yup.

the cheapest ones on ebay hands down.. lol jk im a fan of parkers or smc

sirai valves are by far the best not the easiest to come across or cheapest but for sure you will not be disapointed... also you should check out the slam digital stealth valves those things are bad ass you can run somewhere around 450psi and they have a small and large orfice that can bechanged via switch box. the large or fast orfice is quick enough to hop your truck and the small or slow is slow and quiet enough to air up or down next to a cop with out em noticing

Sarai is a sister company to Asco basically the same valve as the Asco's.

always used SMC on my truck and have never had a problem.

Ive been running SMC valves on my eclipse for
about 6 years & the only problem I ever had was a solenoid go bad. Since I replaced that I havent had any problems at all & if you do go with SMC then get the 1/2 size!!

i wont lie, i dont know what kind i have, but they were out in the open when my bed was off during hurricane katrina and havent skipped a beat so whatever i have is hoss lol

Parkers are by far the best valve. They are made for gas, oil, and water. So they will work if you get any of those elements in there. If your running SMC's get you a water trap or they will stick. GC's just stay away from I've had to many problems with those. Also Tork Valves are real good, same design as a Parker but with a thicker diaphram. I can't say yes or no as far as ASCO valves are concerned because I've never used them. But as far as I've been told there good valves.

I would say Asco(Saria), I have had sarai's up to 450 psi. They were the best valves I owned. I was one of the first people to jump on the GC bandwagon and had four valves with bad diaphrams. The GC guys are awesome and sent them to me in a day. I run GC for fill and sarai for dumps call me crazy...
