will my vertical adapter survive 3000psi?

will my vertical adapter survive 3000psi?

My scuba fill station has a female GD right on it, and it's difficult to take the gun and hold it right up against it, so i decided to make a hose. I got a remote hose that is rated to 3000psi, and connected it to a vertical adapter, in the ASA part of the adapter, I put a remote plug with male QD that hooks into the scuba adaptor.

My question is whether the vertical adaptor will take all the pressure?

Maybe.

You don't want to run 3000psi directly into the AIR valve anyways (It will take it, but will vent madly out the back)

[Polishpickles451]

i'm not--it's a scuba fill station

You don't want to use a hose that is ONLY rate to 3000psi. You want AT LEAST 5000psi hose. You need the extra rating for durability and SAFETY.

I've seen a few remote scuba setups. Usually with steel braided hose though. They can hold more PSI than that coiled remote crap right? I've never looked into it.

A scuba fill station may have a pressure gauge on it, but it is not a regulator. Therefore, you will have 3000psi (or whatever is in your scuba tank) going into your AIR valve. It will survive it, but may sustain damage in the process.

if you have a spare HP tank you could screw that into your gun and then attach(and leave attached) the scuba fill station to the tank, so everytime you took a shoot the scuba tank would refill the small amount of air lost in the firing.

Coiled remotes can hold an insane amount of pressure. I bought a 10000 psi proteam coiled remote line. I got rid of it though, I don't like remotes. Annoying things, they are. IB.

You'll be fine running 3000 psi into a remote rated to 3000 psi, because the remote is most likely rated much higher. They would have to be, probably (PROBABLY) about four times that (12000 psi), because otherwise there'd be all kinds of lawsuits, and if they're rated to that there's no way it could break.

Short answer is yes

but, it's not a smart idea.

as a matter of fact, it's just a bad bad idea.

get the 5k psi hose and the correct connector and do it right. The vert adapter and remote line are not meant to do what you are doing. Unless you like to take stupid chances.

[banzaimf]

the more I look at it and realize what you are doing.

If you have a 3000 psi rated hose (ie burst pressure of at LEAST 12,000 psi) then you should be able to put it inline between the fill station and the disoconnect. This would eliminate the 3 other pieces that are NOT rated to those kinds of pressure and look a lot less hokey and be a lot less dangerous. Well... unless you gas up without the hose connected to anything

[Polishpickles451]

guys i think you misunderstood me...I'm not hooking the remote hose to my gun, i'm just using it as a fill hose from scuba to HPA tank.

[mykroft]

You can't fill an HPA tank via the ASA, you'll kill the reg. You need to fill it via the QD fill nipple on the tank.

He's talking about hooking the hose to the ASA adaptor then putting an ASA to NPT adpator on the ASA so that he can use the female coupling on the fill station.

Hes not filing it through the ASA.

Colied Remotes rated At 3000 PSI working pressure labled (3000 psi W.P) have a burst pressure of 12,000 psi.
