Leafield c7 valve

[jamesd2021]

Hi all
Maiden voyage on the rib and they valve popped off the front part of my Avon 620.the screw in part fell on the floor and left a hole in the tube.
Question is can it be replaced easily by me or does it need to go to the shop. I know its a compression fitting but how is it tightened up properly then?

You might also want a repair kit for that valve. The spring will eventually fail.
