Rubber (Latex) Fill Nipple Cover?

[abarnhar]

Because of how tight my fill nipple is to my drop, I don't have room for the traditional cover (aluminum). I thought I saw a rubber one that slips over the nipple somewhere. Anyone know where to get one?

A jar of 100. Never run out!

I really doubt you want 100. My local shop sells them individually. If you can't get them local to you, let me know. I'll pick one up for you.

My shop has a jar of 'em too...give Kurt a call today...the phone # can be found at www.unrealpb.com

Thanks a ton guys. I'm going to give a couple of shops I don't go to usually a ring and try to find them locally first.

Although, that jug is tempting...

THEY WANT $114.88 FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's nuts. I cannot believe that they cost more than $.05 each to make. They're looking for more than $1.00 each. Talk about price gouging. Damm, that's really pretty disgusting.

Comes in a killer carry case,don't forget that.

Anyway,they do sell most places for $1-$2 each.

1) Good point

2) Sure, that's each. Still a hefty mark-up but not as nuts at this price.

Injection molding machines are not cheap. Molds are not cheap. I bet the electricity that they use to make these things is a nickel a piece.

I gladly pay a buck or 2 for these... They are all I use becuase they dont get lost.

Gee markup.... never would have thought of that in paintball. but if I cant make the part myself, I have to pay someone else to do it.

I dont want to sound like a jerk, but your complaining about a dollar.... a single dollar....

i hate them. if you get any type of moisture, they slip all to hell on the nipple, and wont stay on. but i've had the one i had on my tank for like, a year now, and not a problem besdies that

but then again, mine is the wdp skinz type..

[Spaceman613]

the wdp version is NOT the same and is not nearly as good.

this version has a small bump on the inside that keeps it on the fill nipple even when covered in paint.

for the $2 or so that most places charge for one, its a great investment to keep rubbish out of your tank.

And a much better deal than buying a $10 metal nipple cover that doesnt even have a lanyard to prevent losing it.

[rikkter]

yeah i know they're not lol.
they're like a harder rubber or plastic or whatever they are.

i have a green real RUBBER one, that works fine, but i think it ripped off of the tank, i haven't touched the tank forever so

I use a "skrew cap" that I got at the hardware store, they are like ten cents for 5 of them......they fit tighter than the one in the above posts so you have to take them off with your teeth but they work great and they are even water proof.
they are made out of rubber and come in differant sizes..the size I got are yellow.

[abarnhar]

Thanks for the tip goat!

I'll head to the hardware store this afternoon.

[goat]

not a problem, If you dont have any luck let me know and I'll get you a part #.....I got mine out of the "Specialty Fasteners" bins at Lowes, now I wont use anything else but these....getting a couple of guys on my team to "Convert" as well.

Good luck.
