Level 10 power tube tip sheared off

[adrenalevil]

My level 10 power tube tip sheared off clean,right at the groove where the power tube o ring sits.I have no idea what could have caused this as it was only hand tightened.Is this a common problem that i should worry about or just a freak defect?This happened after only two cases of paint were shot through the gun.

O have only seen that 1 other time in a Lvl 7 tip, Its just one of those weird things that happens.

I too have seen it happen because the guy forgot to put the rubber bumper back on, so the bolt had no cushioning when it came back and hit the valve body. You can probably take a easy out and get it out.

This is something that AGD should get fixed up for ya without a problem.
