    I need advice about ASA on/off

    Ok I have to get something that bleeds the air out of the hose of my Emag, but it cannot be one that has the front turning knob like the CP on/off. It is kind of complicated to explain but my set up only allows me to use a push button or the 1/4 turn knob type ASA.
    Here are the ones that I am thinking of getting. Can you guys tell me what are the cons of these types of ASAs? Do you guys know any other ones made by someone other than Hybrid? I have always used CP on/offs but my setup does not allow me to use one.

    the second oen will bleed off, only problem is the need of a rail to put it on, you also have to screw the tank in under psi so its a little harder but not a big deal

      So even if I have it in the off position the tank will still be hard to screw in? I already have the rail so that is no problem for me.

        No, I've used those Hybrid push buttons before. They're very nice and easy to use.

            I have a hybrid push on/off, extremely easy to use, also if you decide you want a 1.4 turn one later on there is a decent SP one.

                Had one on my emag. Nice and very easy action plus it's a direct mount. No Bleed though.

                    Yeah those others seem good, but when you have a mag you have to have a bleeder. I frequently remove the Xvalve to clean and I hate having to hear a pop from the pressure when I seperate the quick disconnects.

                      I thought the new ones had bleed?..maybe not..


                      Smart parts has a quarter turn one as well, not sure if it has bleed or not.

                        is the whole "bleed" thing real, or a scam? how does a "bleed" valve "bleed" air? I have a cp on/off bleed, and a CCM on/off w/o bleed, and there dosen't seem to be a big difference between them. They both gush air out after I turn them off, one isn't different than the other. im confused!

                          i mean as apposed to the on offs you screw the tank in then turn the air on as apposed to like a duck bill type asa.

                          they are nice asa's just wanted to but that out there that its not as easy to screw the tank in as a screw type on off

                          yes don the bleed valves bleed air by desing the others bleed because the on off has been unthreaded past an oring that seales it

                            Only thing I don't like about the hybrid pushbutton is you'll eventually have to take the thing apart if an O-ring goes bad sorta like the dynaflow, although the flow has a better pushbutton.

                              its not to comples
