PMI 90º Elbow w/ 360º swivel (http://www.compulsivepaintball.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=10767)
When I found these, the first thing I thought is that if you used them, you wouldn't need to use a quick disconnect, to run line from grip to valve anymore.
Has anybody tried this??

I'm getting one of those through our local shop in January, since they're not ordering from that supplier right now. Then I just fit a fill nipple to that and screw it into valve, enabling me to connect my remote coil directly without extra macro-line going to the front grip. Yay! You could also do it with a fixed 90º elbow, but I just think the 360º swivel makes it that much more practical and easy to work and play with.

I've used them and the high pressure needed for the RT effect will blow out the oring that live in the middle of the swivel. It's hit or miss some work, some don't... I don't use them anymore.

I had one. Only used it for a short time but it didn't give me any problems

They work nice in conjunction with a quick disconnect. But I've seen one fail from th Hp run through it, being its an alluminum fitting. I use them on my setup and really like the fact that I can disconnect the braided line from the valve and swivel it out of the way.

That's good, do you use them instead of a quick disconnect?
