Pro Connect II

[MindJob]

I am looking for male halves for the Pro Connect 2. Anyone know where I can get them? Im not sure if these were made by Pro-Team or not, I cant find any info on their website.

Proconnects are made by Staubli. Look them up on the web or find a local supplier.

So their max working pressure is 50 bar. What is that in PSI?

[SlartyBartFast]

50 bar = 725.2 psi

Gatta love the safe use of high pressure air equipment as practiced in paintball.

But hell, that's a safer margin than most of the macroline and microline being used.

Happen to know the specific part #? I see similar, but not exact.

750 is def not the MAX working pressure of a Proconnect. I have run up to 900psi+ through my Proconnect 3, with no problems.

Granted, if you have a PC 2, then it might be a diff model limiting air to 750psi or lower.

Max working pressure IS NOT the pressure at which the fitting explodes.

It's the pressure at which you have sufficient safety margin below design burt pressure. Much like you might hydro tanks at much higher pressures than normal working pressure, but you certainly don't want to fill them to test pressures for normal use.

The pro-connect is the RBE model.

Strange that the mgf's site has 50 bar as the max working pressure then...

As I said, I have a proconnect 3, which I do believe is a larger diameter version than the 2. So the 2 may just have a smaller diameter. I know a local place by me has either model 2's or 4's i think. Whichever one it is, it definately has a small diameter, and wouldn't run at 750-800 + when i tried it yrs ago on my RT running at 850-900.

My proconnect 3 definately runs at 800psi or over though... be on my SFL currently.

What you are saying makes no sense. The Max working pressure is not the pressure the connector will alow through. It the maximum SAFE pressure you should use it with.

Smaller diameter couplings may cause a restriction at higher rates of flow, but it's doubtful you'd notice a real difference unless you're trying to shoot 25bps+.

If there's a proconnect 3 or 4, either Staubli hasn't updated their site or pro-team has another supplier.

Either way, you're better off going to a welding supply or other shop that deals with pressure fittings. You'll be able to get the sae thing at half the price.

The problem with them,most of them anyway, is that they de-couple on thier own very easily when running up wards of 800psi through them.The function of the RT reg often aggravates that situation even more so.

And....

ProTeam has no connection to Staubli.(no pun intetnded )

Here is a picture of my Stabuli Proconnect 3... bought it years ago.. probably around the late 1990's. The halves have never de-coupled from each other on accident and I have never had a problem with the fitting.

I did run across the other type of Proconnect in a local store a while back, and it didnt allow my old RT ORiginal to run on 800psi or higher... the gas flow was restricted or somthing.

Of course they don't. They just order connectors from them and repackage them to sell them at twice the price.

Actually, PTP never really delt in them very much at all. Staubli came to PTP for development of them way back when and when they didn't like what PTP suggested they do for best performance they went on down the road,pretty much.
