    I need Tippmann Valves and Vortex Mods

    I need roughly 20 valves for the Tippmann Model 98's and 98 Customs.

    We keep getting ones in from Tippmann that are not tapped properly, and the air supply line will not screw in correct. I thought about just retapping them, and teflon taping the crap out of them, but not sure how well that would work since these are rental markers and take some pretty serious abuse.

    Also looking for 5-7 Tornado/Vortex Mods for A-5 Cyclone feeds

    Any help would be appreciated

      Have you looked at tippmannparts.com?

              As I understand it, tippmannparts.com is separate from TPI. Because you are looking for a third party on AO it stands to reason you wouldn't mind using a third party from a website.

              Apparently....my bad

                  Really, OK, I was not aware tippmanparts.com was a different Entity, I assumed they were the same company since it is part of Tippman's website.


                  The parts we currently have that are complete crap were sent from Tippmann when we called them. I'll give it a shot - worst case I'm only out another 400.00


                  Does anyoen know if they changed to a metric thread pattern or non NPT threading on these valves at any time? I am confused why we have so many coming in bad.

                      Have you called up Tippmann? I know I'd be asking for a refund if the valves were unusable.

                          It seems as though we are both a bit unsure about the tippmann parts relationship.

                          I seem to recall when I went through the pepperball instructor armorer's course being told they were a different company. My memory isn't exact on that and if I am correct, things could have changed since then.

                          I do know that I have ordered air supply lines from tippmannparts.com too. They also might be able to help you with your cyclone feeds as well.

                          I wonder if a batch of valves was made with the wrong threading? It really is wierd. What did Tippmann say?
