macroline and microline pressure ratings?

[thejesus]

Hey there,

Does anyone happen to know the maximum gas pressure macroline and microline hoses can handle? I need to re-hose my Micro-RT and of course I'm looking for ways to make it look cooler :)

it ussualy says right on the hose.

but then again, it says 500PSI working pressure on the hose I have, and not a problem yet. burst pressure is ussualy 3-4x working pressure.

do you have a macroline or microline? I run my RT at 800-900psi is the thing, I like the snappy trigger :)

well my preset nitroduck has an output of 850 PSI, haven't has a problem in more than 2 years of use.

The problem is that even if the hose is rated, most (if not all) fitting are not.

Steel braid all the way (and no swivel fittings);)

I'll just put one where the hose goes from my vertical asa to the reg :) Thanks for the info guys.

I use macroline on my Spyder and the pressure from the CO2 tank is 800-1000 psi. I have not had any problems with it. If you like to tear your gun apart and add on/take things off, go with macroline.
