Schrader valve?
A couple of years back I purchased an anti-bark dog spray collar... then never used it until a month or so ago.
Of course long out of warranty. Now the fill valve is leaking... full charge of citronella spray leaks out in 30 minutes. And this stuff is ridunkulously expensive for a small recharge can. Can anyone point me to a possible source for a really small, flush-mount schrader valve? I can probably get a pic if you wish. I have looked on eBay and there's nothing small enough. I have not tried to pull it out yet. I assume the spring is fubar. Any ideas?

If what you have is a normal Schrader valve, can't you unscrew the guts of it and replace it with another? That has the spring and the seal on it, I think....

The problem is that this is a very small valve, and it's mounted inside the unit (does not protrude). I have never seen one this small.
Where does one buy valves like that?

Is it like a football / sports ball valve?
They are just push in - in fact you can quite easily turn your child's football into a rattle...
