There are orings on the reg seat to keep the reg. from leaking. If you take it out the asa will leak.

your reffering to the piston.... there are o-rings on there.... the seat is at the end of the brass piston, if it is removed, the marker will not leak... trust me i know...

Then post up a vid with proof, because you are wrong.

lol... your calling me wrong... lol!!! that is funny... i guess you know nothing about paintball... why dont you just try it... open your manual, get your reg in front of you... remove part ITP005, take out the piston seal on top which is ITP010 and re insert it... i would put up a video but KINGMAN doesn't allow there TECHS to do so!!!

If the piston's at the end of the shaft with orings, I see no reason why it would leak if it's removed. It's merely in there more as a shim, to keep the pressure below 500psi. For some reason, Kingman can't get it right the first time and make the damned thing right, so they have to use secondary parts to make it work like they want!

Sorry, last sentence was my opinion only. After dealing with a DP Threshold where they completely ****ed up and forgot that anodizing messes with the spacing inside the marker, I'm fed-up with manufactures not thinking **** through COMPLETELY.

Kingman only says you cannot post the video, right? What if it were, say, to fall "randomly" in my hands and be posted by me?

[Tech Steve]

there is no need to post the video just do it your self... heres a pic

[Tech Steve]

EVERY regulator has some kind of piston and a seat seal... so every company has to use these "secondary" parts to make there markers work if they want it operating at low pressure... not sure how your point makes sense... but every is entitled to their own opinion

[bigred76]

Buy a Threshold, you might understand after that. I see your point, but if it is milled with that width accounted for, then the seat would not be needed, and would permanently be LP output of up to 500psi.

Of course, Kingman might also have had the foresight of users needing the full 800psi output and thus purposefully made it so the seat can be removed without leaking, but I didn't get enough sleep last night and can't follow the thought fully.

lol... have had those nights... the seat is removable on most regs so it can be replaced... eventually it tends to wear down... it is a lot cheaper to replace the seat then the entire piston...
