![]() It came that way its a PSI plus 9oz steelie. Now of course its all cleaned up and reassembled witout any loc tite. I am going to inspect the valve on my 20oz the next time it is empty.

![]() Didnt some kid die a few year ago from a co2 valve with a clogged port? Im REALLY not seing some of the logic used by you guys the valve has several more threads than the tank, enough that when you screw it off to a point where the relief port is exposed there is still maximum threading going on. Should i apply loc tite to HPA tanks while im at it because Carleton sure doesnt think I should http://resources.carltech.com/PTD/valves.html. And to quote a hydro tester

![]() HPA tanks normally have 3000-5000psi pushing between the tank and regulator. Not much a chance they're going to unscrew, therefore Loctite is not an essential. HPA tanks do not have a substance in them that makes the components expand and contract because of temperature variations -
You're mixing apples with oranges here. HPA and C02 tanks are different and use different propellants. I won't debate this with you. All I'm saying is this is an accident waiting to happen and it's your(or someone elses) funeral. AMOF, next time you get this tank filled, mention that the valve threads have no Loctite and see what the person at the pro shop tells you - ![]()

![]() My friend let me borrow a 9oz a while back. When I started taking the tank off the top started unscrewing. I was like WWWWTTTTFFFFF!!!!.
![]() I had never had that happen before. It was out of air at the time but still. I took the tank off the marker and started playing around with it to see what was going on. It seemed like there was some white "glue" that was supposed to hold it in. It was gone. I have never seen white lock-tight. Red is the bad-ass-never-let-go stuff, Blue is tough and Orange just means that whatever you are working on has been torqued.(I might be wrong about the strengths and colors but that has been my experiance) I did notice the blowoff hole about a 1/4" from the top of the threads. That eased my mind to know that if it did unscrew while full that hopefully I would have just got a face full of cold air and not a 9oz rocket. Any way I told him about it and he asked me if I tighened it back up. I told him he needed to take that tank out of service and that I would pay for it since it happened on my watch. Then he wipped out a pipe wrench and gave it a torque and said "good as new!" ![]() Now having said that, I am a trades person. I saw the way this thing was threaded together. You would have to really and truly be a total f-up to take this thing all the way out. Even if the blow hole was plugged. |
