    If that’s the case, you could take that threaded plug to your local mom-and-pop hardware store and have them help you match up the threads. I doubt they’d have the valve part, but you could at least identify what you’re trying to find online.

    The big box hardware stores tend to have cards hanging on the shelves in their nut/bolt/hardware section that might do it, but it’s nice to have that one on one with someone who cares.
    Duh….. was gonna lug the whole IK in…. You sir are a smart man!

    I could only assume you have the one you just sent a picture of. Since that is the EXACT part I'm trying to say is only made for there sprayer. It isn't anything you can buy or make.
    Why you don't want to just return it is your business.

    I’ve had it for way to long 1-2 years. And that is part I’m missing.

    Those were for sale on Amazon. Not exclusive to the IK. They are used on a lot of different things.

    I just was hoping to find the right size/threading.

    I’ve found several different ones with differnt threading.

    That’s one way to look at it. Another way to look at it would be that’s a little sheisty to put a company through selling, shipping, and returning something just so you can get what you want…

    And I was sticking up for you! Now I get it.
    But how many time have you been put through having the shoe on the other foot??? I don't feel bad for all the $$$ I give Amazon every month. I would loose zero sleep! And yes as CAC said it perfect! "You sir are a smart man!"

    Seems Dana thought I was being facetious but I was being serious. My thought was to just carry the whole IK in…. Yours is a way better idea

    Re: IK Foam Pro 12 schrader valve?

    I'm pretty sure it's 1/8" threads. The cap on the IK website is 1/8 and the part # is 1/8 CAP WITH JOINT 8.26.76.303
    Only thing different is the IK one has a rubber ring. But if you use the Teflon tape it should be fine.
