The Female end holds back the air. The big part is the female end. And most people do put the male end on the valve. That part does not hold air and it would do as you want it to do. And then that plugs into the female part. Thats the most common way to mount it. So I think you are indeed wanting to do that.

if your gonna get a pro-connect any way, get an AA raptor system. it is adjustable up to at least 1000psi. it is lifetime warrantied and you already have a cradle that will work with it. oh yea, it its like $199 for a 68/4500 system. go to: www.airamerica.com and check it out. gunga has been using one since chicago nppl last year, ask him how he likes it.

No it is NOT the same thing! The original proconnects were made specifically for National Paintball supply and are modified versions of the RBE3. Be careful what you buy so you dont get it in the eye!Originally posted by xen_100

I may have read wrong, but isn't the RBE3 only rathed to 750 PSI (50 bar, 1 bar ~ 14.5 psi)?
I never really did any work with fittings or hoses on my mag so I don't know if that is enough. Just wanted to bring it up so it can be cleared up for me.New Mag in the works.

this is true......750PSi working pressure. 2250 PSI burst pressure, at least. (3x working pressure)
I wouldn't worry about it.
most macroline is rated for 500-700 PSI too

Doesn't make it the "right" thing though does it? The connector ends on the RBE3 are different from the Pro-connect I have and I did buy mine from National all nicely engraved as a PAINTBALL connector.Originally posted by xen_100

I don't understand the concern with 3k psi rating of the
grease hose. the hose would be downstream of the regulator,
and the pressure would be 900psi, giving a safety factor of
230% between 900 and 3k. hoses on my TIG and MIG welders are held on by spring clamps that would blow at 100psi, and the Argon tank is at 2400psi, but since the clamp is downstream of the regulator, it's perfectly safe.
I would beleive the grease hose is rated above 3000 psi. all the small bulldozers i've used use grease to tighten the track. you hook the grease gun to the cylinder on the dozer and pump it up and the cylinder expands and tightens the track. these are pretty heavy systems, and the hose holds just fine.Comment

The RBE03 comes in about 150 different configurations from Staubli, the standard model for $24 (which does not include the plug) is Low Pressure Only with a 725PSI max working pressure, the unvalved plug for it is $20. The model that is used for the ProConnect is the IA/HP series which is for high pressure air circuits up to 3k max working PSI. They cost $46 each for the socket, the corresponding high pressure unvalved nipple is $66 each retail. Put it all together, and the $60 price tag is a good bargin for what you are getting. Definitely well worth the cost for the safty.
