Fiberwrapped tank - Attachin Reg.

[AUPaintSoc]

Sorry guys, I appreciate this has prob been asked before, but just wondering the best way to get a regulator to stay in a tank...

Loctite? Lots of torque? Its a fiberwrapped tank with preset reg..

Cheers!!

just screw it in hand tight, when its filled with air, you wont be able to undo it

don't use loc-tite you got to be able to get off again.they should be torqued on but don't know what setting it should be.
try using a boa

Yeah thought that bout loctite... Theres no flat edges to use a spanner or wrench, so im guessing just tighten as much as i can and trust in air pressure....

Any chance of it coming out, say when removing bottle from asa...

 

[joeyarmstrong]

not a chance, unless your bottle if totally empty. even then its very unlikely.

pm tom alan, he should be able to put you straight on this one.

Just as Andyp1 said, hand tight is all you need.

Just wondering ..

It was a co2 bottle, rather than air. But the principle is still the same i guess.

Insurance wise, manufacturers are loctiting regs on, but there's one glaring problem.............5 year test.

At the end of the day, it's you taking the system off the marker, and the obvious thing i suppose...is..!!!!!!!

OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

Simple really.......
