Macroline Query

[L J]

ok, this is the only way i can attach my max flo to my fore grip...but the hose goes in not at 180 degrees.... got a pic here, just wondering if it is safe.

The macroline fittings don't like it when the hose is at such an angle, and i feel that it will fail prematurely.
Try fitting a small on/off valve between the elbow and the gun lowering the elbow to the correct level of the reg. It doesn't have to be an on/off you could use a filter, or a one way restrictor, something small enough to lower the elbow. You could use a small close fitting elbow to turn the flow sideways, then a normal elbow set to angle down to the reg.

looks like you coulld use two 90o elbows, out of your reg which would probably take you to the right sort of level...

how do i screw 2 90 degree elbows together?

Or use a 45 degree adapter from the reg and then use a straight macroline connector the angle should then be inline.

ok, im new to all this high pressure stuff, all i have its assorted lengths ofblack tubing, 4 90 degree elbows and one straight elbow/connector can i make it work with these?

2 elbows from the reg sounds good, buy a male to female elbow from a pneumatics supplier and fit it between the reg and original elbow.

Similar to my set-up except mine's dual reg'ed but I've got a 90 degree elbow coming of my vertical Max-flo (so it faces the same way as plum's one), my bottom max-flo has the same fitting as plums, so you should be fine with this, you just need hose long enuff.
