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.
It looks like it’s just a pressure fitting, so I’d get a dull edge like a credit card or the back of a butter knife and try to gently work it up from where it touches the plastic.
Don’t pull on it, though.
