Loctite and elbows?

[Darkwerks]

I've just replced my gas-thru foregrip with an expansion chamber. The foregrip had a 90* elbow loctited ( glued) into it which thus could not be transferred. Do I need to glue the new elbow in place or will it function without?
On a unrelated note, has anyone used a microline kit? What are the benefits?
Thanks

Loctite breaks down at 80 degrees C, so you should be able to get it off..

You don't need to replace it unless your elbow is knackered. Most people use locktite to seal joints that very rarely or never get touched, it stops them from un screwing themselves with movement.

I use a micro line to my x-chamber don't know what the benifits are, don't know why I typed this is doesn't help you at all, sorry.

That's okay, just knowing that it does work is useful.
Thanks both of you for the help

As far as the microline is concerned it really depends on what you're shooting and at what pressure. Small hose = small volume of gas transferred. If you're using microline you need to run a higher than pressure into it than you would with something larger diameter. Should be ok with a stock mag unless you're already having starve-out problems.

I have a Genesis Trading GTV, pretty much a Spyder clone. I'm reliably informed( by the maker) that it'll run at an optimum 450psi.

What kind of glue do u use for it

I highly recommend elmers no drip school glue w/ glitter if possible and if u really are into it get color blue looks like purple vending puddin'

Instead of messing with all that glue (unless you just like the buzz) try teflon tape. Much easier to use and I've never had it leak.

 

[rob_evanson]

Teflons ok, but I've heard some bad stories about it. Use it for temp solution but a more perminant one, use loctite.

Teflon tape is easier although some air ayatems advise not to use it.......!!!!! Air America for example.....
