hardline for rt ule

[AGD Mech Pride]

I wanted my first post to be a nice pic of my new rt all set up but alas I need help finding something :(

Im looking for hardline that will fit the new RT ULEs. I called AGD and the old one they used to make dosen't fit the new x valve. The guy i spoke with said something about a venom hardline but wast 100% sure. Can anyone help me trac down one?

Thx in advance to anyone that helps :dance:

Welcome to AO

Didnt actually see any on the site for sale (individualy) but there is a picture of a hardline on a gun. The descrip says its an x valve on the gun but cant tell if its just an old pic to give an idia of what gun will look like and is actualy old valve. I sent an email asking him but in meantime anyone know of anywhere else i can look?

[Chronobreak]

yes wwa does them, and has some instock i believe.

i thought somone else did them but my mind is at a blank, if i think of them il post it

if its a custom setup he(wwa) may need your gun to make sure it fits, but if its like the one in the pic then he can just ship you one.

oh and welcome :cheers:

Hardlines suck. Just another wrench you need when taking it apart.

i realize they are pain in the *caugh* to take off but i really like the way they look so i can deal with the inconvience.

actuall the venom has a slip fit into the valve fitting so ther is no more tools than the 1/8.

why would having an x-valve make a difference? arent the threads the same?

The postion of where the air conections skrew in is a diferance spot on the x-valve then it is on the older valves

Yea if you can find one. They havent made them in years which i know you are aware of... ;)

my local field has one.

i almost bought it but went with tuna's macro instead. (worked flawlessly by the way. ; :shooting: )

how much were you looking to spend?

if you want, next time i'm there i'll ask about it for you.

[AGD Mech Pride]

Um price the store charges + shipping and an extra $5 for the trouble?

but only if 100% sure it will fit the RT ULE

[Arstron]

just so you guys know, WWA doesnt do hardline anymore, just asked him about it the other day. :(

[ultralight]

i'll test it out on mine. i have a ule body, x valve, and a vert asa.

that is what you're looking to fit it to right?

If you want to make your own, look here:

Just ordered me a foot of stainless tubing and 2 "3/16 Compression fittings." All you need is a small pipe bender and pipe cutter then it should be a peice of cake. :D

is there a good seal at the junction of the tubing and the compression fitting?

is there a good seal at the junction of the tubing and the compression fitting?

And more importantly, what are the pressure ratings of the fittings and tube?


Anybody have any experience with the old Venom hardlines? What's the drawback?

[Arstron]

Copper Tube 1500 psi max
Brass Tube 3000 psi max
@100 F
Stainless Tube 3920 psi max
@72 F

The fitting is rated at 2000psi


I started messing with the fittings yesterday, but have been busy with other projects at work. I will let you guys know how they seal when I get it all installed. The fittings are made with paintball in mind and should seal perfectly fine though.
