Need a way to release pressure from line

[bojangles1983]

I saw the post "macroline leaking pressure" and thought... I need a way to leak pressure from my macroline. I have an RT pro with macroline fittings and an adjustable output tank (not the screwin type) what I am running into is that when I turn my tank off the gun will fire once or twice due to air still in the line, but below 400psi the gun will not cycle, I have no way to vent the air. I have tried slowly unscrewing my valve screw and "tweaking" the valve so that the pressure is release but my on/off pin is still being pushed down by the pressure and even if i hold the trigger in I have been known to shear the pins off. I need some kind of pressure release or a hint on how to release the pressure other than leaving the marker sit and hoping I have a small leak! THanks guys! Oh: reason for needing to take valve out so fast, I have a minimag hooked up for warp that I like to use the RT valve in...

i have no idea how to fix that. you could get braided line and put a quick disconnect though.

Get a tank w/ a bleed circuit integrated into the on/off, a la Hyperflow/Dynaflow if you wanna keep using macro. Or go SS w/ slidecheck.

Don't put a regular quick disconnect on if your tank doesn't have an integrated bleed. Pressurised SS hose + sudden discharge = bad stuff.

I have a freind with the same problem, So he got a fore grip which he just unscrews from teh Asa adapter, works just like unscrewing a Tank. i'd sugest a 90 swivle macro fiiting for the bottom the forgrip though as a straight macro fitting will cut a ring around the macro hose as you unscrew it and won't last long.

A slide check valve...
this is a release valve that you can install inline and when the tank is off, you can slide it down and it release the pressure in the line.

Get them anywhere..

Black, what is that a picture of? A quick disconnect? I have one identical to that. Or do quick diconnects and slide checks look the same?

It's just a Q/D.

I use a proconnect from Tunaman it works awesome and is pretty much push button release (Degasses the valve and leaves your tank/line pressurized) and ready for re-conection.

It's just a Q/D.

So what's the point of him showing us that? You can't disconnect those when there's pressure...

when i had a ss hose i was able to disconnect mine all the time and its not even that hard.....of course thats when i shot out the remaining air with the tank off and that last bit of 400psi was left in the valve but was not enough pressure to cycle

I run macro fittings with of course macro line and all i do to get rid of the residual air is stick my finger and push back slightly on the bolt or move it around and it bleeds all the air out.

[Boydster]

Maybe I could get a little bit more air out of my lines if I used the small spring. idk

^^^ but uh, I don't believe it's supposed to leak air out by moving the bolt. That means it's not tuned right.

hmm i havent chopped a ball at all since ive installed lvl10 and havent had any miscellaneous leaks at all with my gun.

look at PalmersPersuit shop.

You can get a T, and a small bleed valve. Basicly, you push down a button and it bleeds all the pressure.

EDIT: Nevermind, no you can't, 200PSI only. Just get a QD.

thanks for the help guys, Ill prolly do the Q/D with slide check. I'll hit up tuna and see what he has too.
