Pmi pure energy reg

[A.B]

ive got a pmi 5000psi tank reg (the red one) which has developed a problem.

Basically the lp burst disc has gone and on stripping the reg to check for contaminants the o' rings are toast.

So I need a rebuild kit, Herein lies the problem.

No one seems to have one, not even in 'murica!

Anyone help with tracking bits down, suggesting sources etc

No, but the seal on the end of the piston can usually be pushed out and turned around to use the other face of it, it's that seal that is at fault when the pressure creeps up to 1800 psi, if that helps.

Is that the 'ball' if so that's handy to know, sadly the two urethane o rings on the piston have gone soft and fallen apart.

 

[BOD]

yes the ball or a flat plug on some regs, you can push it out with an allen key down the centre of the piston. As for the orings themselves have tried places that sell orings and seals, i used to bulk buy orings from BSL (bearing services ltd), there may be one of those near you or some other industrial supplier.

or you could try ebay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POLYURETHAN-O-RINGS-BS006-BS007-BS008-BS009-BS010-BS011-BS12-ECT-/181641937580?var=&hash=item2a4ab402ac:m:m45G6D_yH0w_Y_6NVHPNKHA you would need to measure them first of course, the one on the top of the piston isn't far in size from the one on the outside of the bonnet that seals the ASA and if my memory serves me well is a BS015

Can Justpaintball not get one? Give them a ring usually can find whatever you need

 

[A.B]

There is a parts diagram which numbers the o'rings. If it's s recognized measurement then we could be in luck.

Have messaged just last night to confirm the low pressure kit on their site is actually in stock, if it is then I think we're problem solved as I'll use the seals and keep the original shim stack.

Found this rebuild kit http://www.oringmonkey.com/pmi-pure-energy-vertical-regulator-ring-kit-p-447.html

Cheers for that link, it reads as 'vertical reg' which makes me think it's for an inline reg.

I've found a LP service kit at just paintball so hopefully the required seals are the same and in there
