[#508220]

Need a new bit for the end of my pipe (into the bladder).
Someone pointed me in the direction of an online outdoors shop last time & i was too dumb to make a note of which one it was.

I have a North Face Gulper hydration pack and a while back, my bite valve began to leak. I emailed North Face directly & Cotswold Outdoor (where I bought if from) and they both sent me a new bite valve for free.

Alternatively, you can buy one here:

It's not the bite valve, i've lost the o-ring from the connector that pushes in to the bladder.

I emailed TNF they don't sell spares but sent me a couple for free

I've since put a hole on the bottom of the bladder so am using a camelbac instead

so they're yours if want 'em, just sat in a draw at home somewhere

pm me

29erkeith - I've found that Platy Patches work on the North Face bladders, my cat was nice enough to put his claws in one day when I left it on the worktop.

My bite valve has gone too, I've bitten through it on one side as you bite the rubbery bit against a harder plastic unlike camelbaks. Thanks for the info, I'll be contacting NF 🙂

Mine didn't leak until I chomped it to death. Been very pleased with every aspect til now. I especially like the fact that the bladder can be detached without unthreading the hose. I'm lazy like that.

I would like to update the link for the Nalgene bite valve which fits all North Face bladders pre 2010;

http://www.trailblazeroutdoors.co.uk/Products/CyberTill/Equipment/Water-Bottles-Hydration/Nalgene-Articulated-Bite-Me-Valve-with-Magnetic-Cl

The 2010 models use Source bladders although both bite valves will fit.
