Description
The Source Tactical Helix High-Flow Bite Valve is a replacement bite valve for the Source hydration system. This one of those “bite-and-suck” valves where you bite down to suck water out of the bladder. If you’re looking for one of the “twist-and-suck” valves then check out the Storm valve.
- Cylindrical shape requires no special mouth orientation
- Bite valve – Unique mechanism delivers full flow with just a soft bite
- 90-degree design allows the tube to be shorter to minimize excess tubing
- Retreat spring mechanism – Will not leak even under pressure or with prolonged use
- Dirt-Shield protective cover keeps valve free of dirt, sand, dust, and pollution
Keeping an extra one of these in your ruck can prove invaluable. Having a bladder valve fail during an event is no fun especially if you don’t have an extra valve OR a Nalgene to dump the water into. If you’re not a fan of keeping one in the ruck then have one spare at home. Before you leave for an event you don’t want to find out that your bladder doesn’t work.

The bite valve is a great upgrade to the Source Tactical twist valve. Shipping was super fast! Thanks Brian

Got this as an immediate replacement for my new WLPS 3L bladder since I prefer byte-style valves to the twist-open Storm valve it came with. I’ll keep the Storm valve in my ruck as a backup since I needed one anyway after switching over from CamelBak.

Biggest complaint I had about my Source Tactical bladder was the twist valve, this fixes everything. Attached cover to keep the mouth piece clean during events but the one handed ease of bite and drink.

This is a great upgrade to the bite valve that comes standard with the SOURCE hydration bladders. It’s super easy to install and easy to use as well, especially if you only have one hand free. High-quality materials and design, as with all SOURCE products.
