• Find the same brand part of your valve for sale online or find one with the same size as it.
• You may measure the inside and outside diameter of the hose to ensure that the valve will fit. I will be using a ruler for this.
• I first measured the new bite valve.
• Then, I measured the old bite valve. Their sizes seemed similar enough. Finally, I compared the two bite valves and concluded that the new bite valve would be a suitable replacement.

• Remove the old or broken part by pulling it off if it's loose enough.
• Putting the bite valve with the portion of the hose in a bowl of boiling water could make it easier to pull the bite valve off.
• I made sure to keep the bite valve and the part of the hose around it submerged in the boiling water.
• If pulling it off is not possible, get your scissors or razor blade. I will be using the former, as shown in the third image.
• Ensure the end of the hose is cut at a 90-degree angle to avoid cutting yourself. Make sure your hand is far from the scissors while keeping a stable grip.
• Once you're certain that nothing else is in the way of the scissors, make the cut.

• Use mild soap and water to clean the outside of the tube. Swirl the water with your hands to mix the soap and water well.
• The method I used was to soak it in a bowl of hot soapy water for 5 - 10 minutes before rinsing it, which will clean the outside and inside of the tube. This will let you skip the next step. However, this requires a big enough bowl to fit the hose.

• To clean the inside of the hose, head to a sink and run hot soapy water through it. Then, run regular water through it as rinsing.

• Clean and dry the new bite valve, inside and out. I reused the hot soapy water bowl from Step 3 to do it. Rinse it after. Make sure everything is dry before moving onto the next step.
• Depending on how new that mouth piece is, you might need to clean it. As you see here, I used the soapy water bowl to do that.

• Attach the new mouth piece to the new bite valve.
• Mines had a little hole you have to open up while pushing the bite valve through it.

• Attach the new bite valve to the hose.
• If you’re having trouble attaching it, you can use a lighter to heat the tube and make it pliable. Watch carefully and don’t melt it. I did this step at the sink just in case I needed water for an accident.
