Replacing reg on air tank with adj reg help

[Beemer]

Query then: what sort of torque wrench do you use when a standard socket won't fit on your reg?

Good question..................http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=246063

Yea, TK and Glenn Palmer themselves mentioned that the regs arent suppose to need sealant, just torqued to spec.

I'm guessing proshops don't always have the tools to torque it all the way (my proshop doesnt at least) and so they use sealant, and dont torque it to spec

Most shops won't, Scuba/fire safety shops will.. The blue locktight isn't there to seal the threads, just to lock them.. I've done many the way I described, and 3 - 4 years later, they are still alright.. And as I said from the factory, ever tank I've taken the reg off has some sort of locktight or thread locker on it.. I just did a buddies P.E (brand new in the box from the store) and it had thread lock on it..

Scuba/fire safety shops are alright, but sometimes, they mess your reg up. And most of the time they charge you

Bottom line is, it's up to you. Do it yourself (free, easy, quick and is the most common way this is done) or take it to a pro (expensive, takes days, done to industry standard)

I think most people (and pro shops) do it themselves because it's easy, it works and we can, It's like sending your mag in to AGD to clean and lube it, or doing it yourself. Most op for doing it themselves because the results are the same.

Well here is the thing, if its torqued to spec you dont need it, or why would you use loctite.

As is stated there is more then one way to do it. The question is which is the right[SAFE] way.
I dont think paintball is doing it the right way.

Who inspects the threads, tank and reg after a reg removal that has been loctited.

Why do we even use a screw in Reg, ASA? It clearly is not the SMARTEST, SAFEST way to go.
