RT Valve, little help please

[vlad the impaler]

Adjusting the Velocity on my RT valve this afternoon, all of a sudden gas starts escaping at a violent pace from the hole the allen key goes in at the back of the valve, until the tank was empty, what did I do, and what is the fix?

Thanks Alan

It sounds like you just turned it up to high. Were you at the chony or just messing around? Basically it's a relief, to much pressure = to high velocity = DANGER!! Try turning it out, lower velocity, and see if that helps.

Yeah, remember, mags only need a 1/4 of a turn and I think it can go up 50 FPS.

If turning it back down and it still leaks, you need a new reg. piston.

RT Valve

Thanks guys sounds like that's what I did as I certainly went way past 1/4 turn. I'll have to get the tank filled to check, does anybody know if they make a thumb adjuster for the velocity adjustment on the RT valve and if they do where you can get one?

Alan

p.s. clockwise increases velocity or decreases?

[ChucktheMAGician]

No thumb adjuster for the RT, and clockwise, in, is higher, and counter-clockwise, out, is lower.
