    J-Valve reserve plug?

    i have several j-valves and was wondering (I could not find anything in internet searches) if there was a simple plug that could be used to replace the reserve mechanism and basically turn them into easier to carry k-valves? Something like the plugs when you separate a manifold set. Anyone...
