Can you screw a 4500psi nitro tank into a 3000psi remote??

[rudy6732]

as the title says. Im looking to buy a remote and all i see is the 3000psi macroline and steel braided. Thanks!

[Kevmaster]

yes

the nitro tank will have a regulator on it so it will only output ~800psi....roughly the same pressure as is in a co2 tank


so, yes, you can put a 4500psi N2 tank on a remote

thanks kev.

Arent c02 around 2000-3000 psi?

[magman007]

no.... co2 is consistently in a liquid form about 800 psi...


thats why most nitro tanks that are preset out put 800, and that is why your co2 tank doesnt have a high rated burst disk

3000psi simply represents the output pressure that it can hold.

[Lopy-slopy]

Co2 can output a LOT of differnt pressures. As it empties it can range from lime 1000-2000 to like 400. Thats why nitro is better, it is more consistant.

Co2 does indeed have a range of pressures, according to density, which is based on the air temperature. When the co2 in the tank becomes very cold, it is almost impossible to shoot anywhere near consistantly because of the very low pressure in the tank. The same goes for warm weather. This is why the Xpansion chamber was born, although that doesnt really do much anyways. In any case, the remote can handle 3000 psi, and the nitro you have, depending on brand and pressure, is an output of 450-850, well below the 3000 the remote is rated for. And Why would you ever use a remote anyways? ;)
