IK Foam Pro 12 schrader valve?
Anyone know the size (1/4, 3/8 npt)?
If not how I could measure it?
I am trying to hook up the bike pump but looked in box where I kept all the parts and looks like I didn’t get one.
Any help is appreciated as I emailed IK and no reply.

My IK12's are regular bicycle pump style and size. IIRC Schrader or “American-type valve” is 8mm (5⁄16 inch) in diameter.

Could anyone who owns a FP12 load a picture of one with schrader valve connection?
Also does anyone know where to order replacement felt pads?

I have all that and have a foam pro12 already. Just didn’t come with the schrader valve that screws in to the foam pro 12. There’s a spot for it and should be one that screws in.

I know Buddy! Call Rag and tell them to see if they have any, if they were the 3rd party you bought it from on Amazon?
If not it will most likely be impossible to get support. I seriously doubt either would have stock anyway.
As for ordering one anywhere you can't! it has threads to screw in that hole and all schrader valves are way different! They go in from inside and go into a NON THREADED 5/16 hole. Then have a nut on outside that tightens it down.
The IK one is made especially for there sprayer and it screws in where you remove the silver cap. They should of had it PRE-Installed and given buyers an extra one. vs. the cap. who the hell buys a pro if they didn't plan on using it with a Schrader.
Anyway, RETURN IT! Just buy a new one from RAG and get the little bag out of box and send it back! This is the only way you'll get the right valve. I know you want to just grab one that goes in there but there is zero like that. I bought some that I retro fitted in my marolex axel foamer 7000 and one for the EPOCA in a 32mm so they were not to long. But again they go in from inside out. Sorry for the hassle.

Re: IK Foam Pro 12 schrader valve?
Coatings - I’ve not seen one in person, so I wasn’t sure how the schrader valve is setup. But from what I’m reading, it sounds like the one you got came with a threaded in plug instead of the valve?
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.
