Microline Question?

[PiranahBLVFG3]

I just ordered a microline kit for my Piranha, the thing is im using co2? sooo will it work or will i bust the line into little pieces. i read that microline worked on high pressure guns and macroline worked on low pressure. just guessing i thought co2 would definitly run a high pressure. if it dosent work then i guess i will have to go back to steel hose or get a AIR system!!

As far as I know you should be fine! personally I'd use macro but thats my preferance!

Microline will work on CO2.

The differences are that Macro line has a larger bore so therefore a higher flow. If you lower the pressure this is even more important so it's kinda true to say microline is high pressure.

The larger bore the better but I ran Microline on a cocker on CO2 for over a year with no (noticable) ill-effects.

Plus a lot of people now seem to call macroline - microline anyway so you'll probably be getting the larger bore regardless

got a link to what you ordered?

Same as beaker, ran a cocker on co2 with microline for nearly a year

from the pic that does look like micro line rather than Macro, but it will work just fine I bet

cool!

well i'm just glad it will work, i just bought a Piranha and i'm trying to put every possible upgrade on it i can. so i thought microline would look a lot cooler than steel hose. anyways thanks for the info hopefully when i get it all decked out i can post a pic so everyone can drool over a Piranha (not very likely huh?!)

I've had one of these on an automag - worked fine with both CO2 and Air.
