Remote Line Basic Usage

A short synopsis on how to use a paintball remote line. This does not include maintenance, as there is already a vid for that.

I know it's rather basic and most players won't need this, but a few will. It's enough to make me feel there's a need.

Hey, I bought a used remote set and put it on my marker. I've never had one before, so i don't know if this is normal or not: When I attach the female end to the male end, there is a bit of play where I can tug on the cord and the female end will slide up and down the male end a little bit, but not come off. I'm guessing that's not secure enough to be leak free? Or is it?

@GotischOberst - I'm gonna need you to be a bit more specific. The female end of what, connecting to the male end of what?

[GotischOberst]

@JackRockBLC The female end of the remote coil connecting to the male end that screws into the tank adapter. When I pull the collar back to put the coil onto the adapter, it locks securely, but it can slide around a little. I know it's supposed to be able to spin, but I'm worried that if it can slide up and down like that (only a millimeter or so) that it will leak.

@GotischOberst - Gotcha. You're referring to the quick disconnect pieces. Most of the time, once pressured up, you will find it tightens up a great deal.  Best bet is to hook it up, try it, and just be ready to turn it off at the on/off valve (at the tank end), just in case.

@ pub3296: It doesn't matter. Remote lines are equipped to handle both types of gases, since they are generally rated at 3000psi. Since the output pressure of both CO2 and HPA tops out at about 900psi, it'll be fines.

can you just turn cut off the flow from the co2 tank to the gun with the knob thing then disconnect the female end from the gun that way ur tank is still full but ur gun doesnt have to be connected (btw if u dont know what i mean i can make a video) thanks and this is directed to jackrockBLC

[JackRockBLC]

@bmx5607 - Yes, you can.  But most people carry their tanks in a vertical manner on their back. Reaching the knob without the help of a friend and/or taking the vest/harness off becomes rather difficult.

Also, not to mention that if you use the valve knob at the tank, the line is still pressurized. You lose that air, and still risk damaging some o-rings.

Thanks for the video dude, my remote line is a little different so I figured out the parts that you didn't mention but you helped alot!

[david199619]

@sicslipkno555666 No?? You can have a freshly filled tank. Otherwise there is no point in having a remote line dude.

Please help my remote line doesn't have a slide check so here's the problem:

When I unscrew the part of the remote line that is on the tank attatchment, the air doesn't release on the tank so there is still air on the line. Only when I take the remote line off of the tank does it release it's pressure.

I don't know if this is normal, or if it will damage my tank o ring. Whoever can answer please do!

[LeonardJosephM92]
