Point Two Balls Posted August 24, 2024 Posted August 24, 2024 Hi Guys. New to HPA - how tight does the top regulator (I guess this is low pressure regulator) need to be tightened onto the bottom regulator (I guess this is the high pressure regulator)? Hand tight? Thanks. Pat.
JVacation Posted August 24, 2024 Posted August 24, 2024 Yeah just hand tight until it stops twisting on. Usually it will twist on easy at the start, then get a little harder stop until you are met with that "brick wall"

Correct The cylinder pressure of 3000psi is your high end Its fitted output regulator is probably running somewhere between 800psi and 650psi (when moving from CO2 to HPA in paintball 800-850psi roughly replicated the gaseous state of CO2, but as time has moved on the need has dropped for most - we tend to have an inline regulator fitted within our paintball guns Your inline airsoft regulator then does the reduction to the low 100s for your operating pressure, which could be called low pressure Strictly though it’s all high pressure air, and should be given respect all the way through the system but 500/400 psi might get called mid pressure Edited August 25, 2024 by Tommikka
