Max flo query!

[Robeenio]

hey guys! i have a max flo low pressure reg on my impulse at the mo but im gettin a 2k1 c&c angel this month from this forum and i was wandering if i could use my existing airsystem on the angel cos i have read that the air input pressure should be 800psi before reaching the primary reg!

the max flo will only go up to about 250 i think before the safety valve kicks in! can any of you guys shed any light on this subject! as i am hoping that i can use the it!!
cheers dudes!

Yep...

All you have to do is through on the high pressure spring and you are ready to roll.

Buy the HP spring (which takes you to 300-600 psi I think) and it should work fine. And by the way, the Angel manual recommends 600-650 psi into the mini reg, not 800. A great site now that you own an angel would be www.angel-owners.com, all kinds of angel owners, young and old asking and answering Q's, selling cheap stuff, and otherwise having fun in the "angel club".

cheers dude!

thanks for ya help huys much appreciatted!!


do smartparts do the high pressure spring? if so how much, any ideas???

and will the safety vavle still kick in at 250 psi or will it be changed with the new spring??

if not how would i go about changing it??

thanks again for ya help! i though that i was gonna need to buy me a new air system!! DOH!! lol!!

Prices of spares/parts will be on the www.smartpartseurope.co.uk site under maxflow

This is only a suggestion I have no idea wether or not it would work :

A 3000psi Maxflow acts like a mini-reg or LP reg, just in a different position right?

The pressure coming out of a mini reg on an angel will be around the 100-160 mark. So why not remove the regs internals or get a (stylish) gas through grip and run the pressure straight from the max-flow?

I know the max-flow is capable of it.

I thought this was discussed a couple of weeks ago, and Phil from Smart Parts cleared the confusion. Basically the answer is NO, the low-pressure max flo is a different regulator piston and chamber from the medium and high-pressure model. The manifold etc. are compatible, but you need to replace the regulator itself. The low-p regulator is good up to 240 psi and the high-p one is for 300 and over, with 2 different ranges depending on the spring used.

But yes, it seems to make sense to remove the minireg (replace it with a gas-thru grip) and run low pressure from your existing impy reg straight into the gun. You will get better flow with a single-reg setup, so less shootdown at high ROF, and you won't have to replace the regulator chamber.
