there are 2 things you can do... you can send it in to get fixed, or you can do it yourself. i have done it many times, switching regs. and what not, all you do it loctite and twist really hard lol... then let it dry for a day or 2 and you should be good

[jtm560]

k thanks alot

[jtm560]

any way 2 fix a gauge if the center peice of plastic comes of and is left with a hole ? i know i am stuipid :rofl:

[WickeDKlowN]

Don't loctite your reg onto your tank. Just torque it down.

The manufacturer's don't use loctite for a reason, leave it that way.

[jtm560]

and y does my emag valve leak out of the vilocity hole?

[jtm560]

Don't loctite your reg onto your tank. Just torque it down.

y? i need to loctite it so it wont happen again :tard: :rolleyes: :confused: ;)

[WickeDKlowN]

'Cause you've got it turned up too high, back it out a little.

[jtm560]

ok , but its cron o ed at 284.5

[WickeDKlowN]

They don't loctite it because the loctite will clog the vent holes so it won't vent any ai till the reg is completley off or damn near, in un turning your tank into a rocket.

[WickeDKlowN]

does it have lx? Try using a shorter spring.

[jtm560]

omg , so just tighten it and fill it? if it blows i have poof , and i will sue u

[WickeDKlowN]

ROFL, I don't think you can sue for doing what somebody tells you to over the internet,

Take it to an airsmith to get torqued if you're that paranoid.

omg , so just tighten it and fill it? if it blows i have poof , and i will sue u

threatening people isn't really a good way to get help either :nono:

[ramenjames]

as with all issuse dealing with any form of paintball airsorce...if it ****s up take it to an airtech......the last thig i want is another freak accedent


if you do it yourse;f (please dont) then dont loctite it ...it will cover the vent holes and cause a "tank rocket" if the tank comes unscrewed with air in it

[Tunaman]

Please. Understand what you are doing first. You are attatching a regulator to a high pressure vessel. You MUST contact the manufacturer and find out the proper way. DO NOT GUESS! There is a specific torgue value that MUST be adhered to. Find out what is is by calling the manufacturer.

[jtm560]

ok, ty tuna

Wicked, if applied properly loctite can be used effectively and safe.

I did it to my tank and made sure to apply very little to the end of threads and made sure the o-ring was good and the vent-hole was clear. I applied 2-3 drops of blue loctite, screwed on the cylinder, waited a good 3-4 hours, screwed the tank on my gun, went to the fill station, had them fill it very slowly (took about 5 minutes, no one else was around) got it to 4500, went to the chrony and shot some paint and all was good.

[bigspanky123]

well i know for a fact that crossfire loctites there regs to the tanks. i have seen it in person where they do it, it is fine and nothing wrong will happen, i have 3 tanks that have it, and nothing is wrong with them

[jtm560]

thank u all :hail: :hail: :hail: ,exept the guy who said i threated someone :nono:
