dimimate Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Hi I have an Evolution CR plus and a friend of mine gave me a nice present of H&S FCP valve 126353 which is for normal Evolution not CR Plus. I checked on the net and found out that for CR Plus line there is another valve 126354. The two valves look identical without any visible difference. My question is if anyone knows what are the actual technical/constructional differences between the 126354 vs 126353 are. I understand one is for CR plus (354) but will the 126353 work on a CR Plus? Will 126353 negate any mechanical advantage of the CR plus (lets say trigger feeling will change if you use 126353) ? Thanks p.s I haven't opened the box yet to try it on CR plus p.s Friend is from abroad hence trying to avoid returning the item (international transfer) Edited October 21, 2021 by dimimate syntax errors, additional info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwh548 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The CR Plus has the extra chrome on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nheather Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I imagine that the only difference is that the CR version has extra chrome to match the CR airbrush. I can’t imagine that there is any other difference. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the distinctive characteristics of the CR Plus is that it has triple chrome plating to make it less prone to "wear and tear". Like @nheather said the CR Plus valve is most likely extra plated so it matches the body of the airbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimimate Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 Thanks for the replies. I attached the valve on my CR plus works fine (i guess ....) .I noticed tho that after a certain rotation it does not make any difference. Meaning the airpressure is fully released before you manage to rotate fully the valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwh548 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I'm not a fan of their new pressure control valve. I find that the range is way too small for my liking. The old one was far better in that regard. I guess the new design has less things to go wrong on it, but I'll stick to the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimimate Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Confirmed by H&S that the differences is just the plating. This is the official response: Quote Only the plating is different. The 126353 is nickel plated and the 126354 is chrome plated. The technic is the same. If you have a CR it looks much better if you have also a chrome valve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
