Air System Question

[FUBAR]

Im gonna have a bit of cash soon to buy an air system so I was thinking...

If I buy one of these from smartparts:

and then either one of these from smartparts:

or one of these from Planet:

How would I get them fitted to each other?

Anyone recommend any other regs?

if you buy everything from smart parts or planet they will put it all together for you.. best bet is to speak to them if you want to buy on bit from smartparts and another from planet

 

[FUBAR]

Mod, Can you move this to the techroom, i stupidly put it in the wrong place.

another question why with the maxflow regs does it say "choose your system" on the website then listing all the main types of guns? are the Gun specific?

Just looked on smartparts site

"Dumpy 1.5 litre DOT Bottle
Bigger capacity tanks no longer mean longer bottles. New for 2002 is a 1.5 litre 4500psi bottle that is the same length as the standard 1.1 litre! Kevlar wrapped bottle, with a round bottom; this is a true back-players dream!" is the description of the bottle you have posted, make suer if you buy a bottle you buy
a HSE or Dual tested bottle as you wont be able to get a DOT bottle filled in the UK (Legally anyway)

 

[FUBAR]

yeah, I realised that after I put the image up so swap that one for a HSE bottle. 1.1 or 1.5

The actual assembly of the bottle onto the reg is a matter of just screwing it on as hand tight as possible. Don't use Loctite or anything on the threads, the pressure of the air in the bottle will seal it together very tightly when filled. Do bear in mind that you will probably need to stick the reg on the gun first as the bottle can obstruct the fittling bolts.
Is this helpful?

 

[FUBAR]

jinks, that seems awfully over simple to me.

Thats not like these melee systems?

where it just screws into the gun

I thought you had to loctite the bottles & use a vice & wrench or something to fix it properly.

Nope, definately not, and I'm pretty sure that loctiting the threads would cause something nasty to happen.

My AIR has the bottle screwed hand tight to the threads and that's it, that's how it was supplied that's all it needs.

Don't try anything else.

Cubes got an older maxflo with bottle for sale in the classifieds, take a look at that.
