CamelBak Crux Reservoir On/Off Valve

This specific On/Off valve is designed for the CamelBak Crux reservoir system. It may not fit older Antidote or original Omega reservoirs, so please verify that your current tubing is part of the Crux ecosystem before purchasing.

No, it does not replace your bite valve. This is an inline accessory that connects between your existing bite valve and the hydration tube, adding a manual shutoff point to the system.

Installation is straightforward. You simply cut your existing hydration tube at the desired length, then push the two ends of the tube onto the barbed ends of the On/Off valve. A firm push is all that is required to create a secure, leak-free seal.

When the valve is in the open position, it allows for full water flow. It is designed to be unobtrusive, so you should not notice any restriction in your hydration flow while you are actively drinking.

While bite valves are designed to be leak-proof, they can occasionally be compressed or snagged inside a packed bag, leading to accidental drips. This valve provides a mechanical, positive shutoff that ensures your gear stays completely dry during transport or storage.
