    I need a... Bleed?... Valve

    So I have my mag and a max-flo reg, when I turn off the air and fire a few more shots to clear out the air lines I find there is still enough pressure in the lines to stop me from removing the macroline, anyone have this issue and if so what was your fix?

    I had the same problem. I picked up a CP mini gas-thru, it has a straight macro fitting out of the bottom. I was able to unscrew the grip and the macro line would not rotate and get twisted, the air would then bleed once I unscrewed it enough. I didn't get the gas-thru for that purpose, but it came in handy. I've also used a "T" fitting somewhere along the air path (I think the best place I found was at the bottle reg) and in the extra output hole I put a basic cap screw (I guess thats what they are called), so when I needed to bleed I'd just unscrew that a little bit.

    Now, I was doing this with my MICRO Max-Flo, if you have an in line or manifold, I suppose you could just open up one of the many other output holes that are not being used on the reg. Hope that helps.

      I have the same issue with my xmag. I put a slide check (from a remote) on my flatline 4500 output going to the marker. So when I need release the air I open the slide check and bleed the lines. Other wise you can hunt for a pro connect and I havent seem to get lucky finding one in the last two years.

        A slide check is probably the easiest way, but if you want something better, a Pro-Disconnect is definitely the way to go. If you want to buy one, check this thread over at A5OG - http://www.a5og.net/paintball-buy-se...isconnect.html
