Ion Macroline too short for reg?

[John C]

Yes, although its the fittings that will go, not the pipe.

With the introduction of LP presets and the fact that we have such clean air supplies the problem isnt that bad at the moment and I havent seen any blowouts for ages.

The last one was my teammate almost a year ago at the air fill station. A standard macroline fitting blew and the collet hit him in the upper arm, he had a bruise the size of a melon afterwards!




EDIT To add it wasnt his gun, his gun had 6MM fittings and hose, it was a guy next to him at the fill station.

I have the certificate here which goes with the 6mm fittings I gave you with the Ir3.

It says that Toms fittings blow at 3500PSI, and then it was the pipe that blew not the fittings.

I just took delivery of an assortment of fitttings from Tom Allen and I won't be using any others from now on; they feel a lot more solid than anything I've used before. Some of the Macro fittings out there feel very fragile to start with and when you see the gouges some players inflict on them using mole grips etc for fitting it's amazing we don't see more blowouts/accidents etc.
