Macro Lines

[Matt_mg]

relax people you really need to pull it like mad for it to come out when it's gassed.

honestly i dont think would be a problem with macro line exploding as long as you dont leave your gun pressurised in the hold sun for long periods of time. I have seen the stuff bust before but that was because the kid left his spyder with a co2 tank pressurised while he ate lunch and when he came back his tank was empty. go figure.

Geez you people must have the worst luck ever, ive been using macroline for a year and a half and never once had a problem....

I dont use macroline, instead I use pneumatic "hose" rated for 2500psi burst pressure...

I'm no expert but I get it from a place called "HyQuip" along with all my other couplers and fittings. The company specializes in making hoses for industrial use. This stuff I use differs from macroline in strength and I cant notice anything else. So far I havent even had to buy any, since the company gives me "samples" which wouldnt matter either way since the price is only $.51 per foot.

The reason for useing the "macroline" hose versus stainless hose is just like what someone said, I move my tank around so often that it would be stupid to buy stainless.

Another good reason to use macroline is you dont have to unscrew it from anything, just de-gass your marker and push/pull it out... thus making it easier to disassemble your marker... If you have stainless, you either have to unscrew the hose fitting or work with the quick disconect couplers and nipples...

Also, if you start to notice the deep grooves forming in the end or your macroline hose, you can just trim off a quarter inch from the end, and reinstall the same hose, no need to replace the hose...

Parker-Flex

Parker-Flex is the best macroline you can buy. Our local shop has it and I stocked up on it. It cost me a dollar a foot. Tunaman sells this kind of macroline and I have yet to change my original piece.
