    What pressure does the automag valve regulate to?

    I was thinking of putting together a project with a capped valve -

    Would someone know what pressure range the Automag valve is usually regulating down to? I saw an old warpig article that suggests the operating pressure is ~400 psi?

    Knowing that pressure range I can start looking for an appropriate regulator and a relief valve/ safetly.

    Thanks

    If I remember right, tank pressure is regulated down to 450 psi.

      Yes about that. You are taking high pressure(~800psi) and bringing it down to the 400psi range. Of course that is not a set pressure, as all valves react differently, through area atmospheric pressure, the parts you use(L10 kits, different on/offs), and how worn in your valve is.

      I would suggest AKA Sidewinder, STS, or 1liter regs, the ID HPR or even a Palmer Stabilizer.

        Awesome that is great info thank you for the details. !

        I was contemplating using a Female stabilizer, but was also pondering - if one could get around the mounting issues, could an empire relay regulator/asa be shimmed up to a 450psi output...

            Fully adjustable 0-700 psi output. Max input 4500 psi, optimized for 1500 psi. - comes with a built in self resetting safety valve Input: 1/8" npt male disconnect nipple is on the top. Output: 1/8" npt male is on the side. Gauge can be installed to read regulated pressure. Finish: Nickel


            Has a safety and everything.

                  The operating pressure can vary depending on your barrel and level 10 spring used. A level 7 bolt with optimum barrel setup could get you in the pressure range of 350psi. A level 10 spring with vented barrel could put you in the 500 psi range. This is the reason mags require a high pressure tank to operate properly, since the tank pressure needs to be at least 200 psi or more above the operating pressure in order to maintain a good high impulse flow rate for high rates of fire.
                  Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
