bleeding air out of the line?

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

ok so i got my flatline, and turned it off, i shot the gas that i could but there was still a little left, just enuff to presureize the trigger but not enuff to fire a shot. so i would like to know if there is anyway to remove the air out of my line? i ended up just takin out my valve, and the on/off assembly shot out :rolleyes: took me awhile to find all the pieces

lol....get a quik disconnect,then you just lift the piece,and the air comes out....i think....

[shartley]

I never have a problem. I turn off the on/off and then keep firing the marker until it does not react any more. I then just unhook my quick disconnect. Usually there is not air left, but sometimes a little will be, however not enough to do more than make a short little pfft with NO pressure to it.

I am no airsmith, so I don’t know if this is what you are talking about… but like Jonno said, if you don’t have a quick disconnect, you may want to get one. I am sure those with more knowledge will help clear this up more….

hum, well its hard for me to move it even with that little pressure, and dont get on to me and say lift fingerweights... i already work out ...i got a q/d

[Jonno06]

yea,it takes some elbow grease to get them to come off.....just pull,really hard...

i thought i remberd a thing someone had along time ago where u presed it and it would bleed the air out of the line... anyone rember this?

[Jonno06]

i thought thats what the Q/D does.....

[Schnitzel]

what about the proconnect? i've wanted one for awhile...but haven't gotten it yet. isn't it like a QD and slide check in one?

[X-Plosive]

a slidecheck will bleed the air out, get a 32* quick disconnect/slidecheck from 888 paintball, they work ral great and are only like $20.

[Jonno06]

yea,slide check,thats what i meant...i want one of those...

[shartley]

Yup.. QD or Slidecheck, or both. Funny how the DQ is not doing the trick for you though.

Might be of help...

Pro-Connects are great. They have one large button you push to disconnect and it acts as an on/off. The air is shut off at the male end of the pro-connect. Great for tanks like Raptors that don't have on/offs, but it could still work for you since they're pretty easy to disconnect.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

i dont need to shut off the air... the flatline does that, i just need soemthing that will go pshhhh when i press it to make the little air left go out, i saw it on someones mag, they had a 2 hole vert asa and one side had a litte thing that bled the air out...

I wouldn't get a proconnect, I have gone three of them so far. The fittings have problems joining back together as if they swell, except they never return to normal size again.
