macroline setup

[confedman75]

for a macroline setup on a 68 classic do i want...
A. 1 straight connection and one 90 degree connection

or

B. 2 90 degree connections

Normally, it's 2 90* connections. Depends on your tank or ASA.

confedman, are you involved with that company in your sig(if so how)?

Dont use macro, go SS :eek:
Trust me, macro bursts way to easily..
But yea, 2 90* fittings from valve to ASA works great no matter what type of ASA you have.

i have my back up mag on micro for about a year now. haven't had one burst.

i have my primary mag on macro for about 5 months. not one burst.
and yes, they both get used a lot.:D

so they dont "bursts way to easily.." :eek:

Get some Parkerflex Macro from Tuna. It's sturdy stuff. I've never had Maco blow on me but I did have it blow out of the fitting and whip my hand pretty well. I use a quick disconnect on the macro going into the valve because constantly removing and sticking it back into the fitting will wear the end down and potentially cause it to blow out. I used to use stainless all the time but macro is lighter and does'nt scuff up my anno.

[confedman75]

does tunas macro fit into normal macro fittings?

[Load SM5]

Yes, it has a slightly thicker wall so it holds pressure a little better.

[confedman75]

you mean thicker on the inside,right? because if it were on the outside it wouldnt fit as well.

[Load SM5]

Correct.

yeha i have a proconnect with macro to the valve with mine too. i've never had the macro burtst but i have had the proconnect burst off quite a few times. lol its weird. i heard a loud POP and was like whoah what the hell. it was weird, i think my proconnect is wearing out or something, but it is working fine now.

I used my macro for 1 year before it popped :eek:
Im sure that parker stuff works good, its just SS is more readily available, and you can get it anywhere almost :p
