This is a bite valve from a hydration bladder. I’d like to disassemble it so that I can clean it out and let it dry properly. Is there any way to do that? I tried searching online but the results were either AI garbage or did not apply to this bite valve in particular. Pulling with mediocre force on any of the parts doesn’t seem to do anything, and I don’t want to pull any harder in fear of destroying the valve.
I don’t think you can disassemble that.
If you have a source of compressed air, you could try blowing out whatever is inside, then soak it in bleach, alcohol, or other disinfectant to get kill the bacteria.
i think that’s the best course of action considering i really don’t wanna break this thing yet. thanks!
