The Alpenflow was dreamt up by Alpenglow founder Tom (\u003cspan\u003ea.k.a. \"Gadget\")\u003c\/span\u003e along the Pacific Crest Trail after seeing piles of semi-filled fuel canisters in hiker boxes. Consolidate your stash, split fuel with friends, or score a free boost from a hiker box. If you forget how to use it, instructions are printed right on it, making it easier to use in the field. It’s so light that even the gram counters will consider it worth its weight to bring. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSaturn Update: The ‘Saturn’ revision incorporates feedback from thousands of trail miles to make transferring fuel even easier. The core technology is the same, but the geometry has been adjusted to make setup easier and the product harder to lose. The Alpenflow is still the lightest fuel transfer valve in the world and the only one capable of emptying canisters with rusted or stripped threads. It’s called the Saturn Revision since it has a ring like our sixth planet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstructions printed right onto the device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaller walls improve alignment and reduce damage to the pin from off-angle application \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeyring loop for adding a lanyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e⭐How to Use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.
