I'm pretty sure anything stronger than a coat hanger will support your gun.

he's not looking for a stand, he's looking for white macroline...right?

[ScopeX2]

thats fine pressure wise.

[fretmelter]

well basically no color preference just saw it there and sawit was cheap and didnt want to look any further.

and what about fitting what should i use barb? or sumthing else?

Ohhh..my bad, I missed the "on".

[East Side Factory pb]

use barbed if you wanna blow yourself up .. lmao.

Not macroline, but 1/8" LP hose.
It will work for a PTT fitting (push-to-connect) but it'll be a pain to use on barb fittings because it's very, very stiff hose.

ic, now i know why he was looking for cheap hoses.

[fretmelter]

so deos mcmaster have ptt fitings?

[fretmelter]

but the fittings that they have are push connect but they are only like 250 psi

[fretmelter]

and they are all plastic no metal ptt fittings. and are the macro line fitting used on paintball guns 1/8 or 1/4?

[Ydna]

Macroline is 1/4" OD. LP tuning that msot guns use (1/8" OD) is always low pressure, usually 200-psi at the very maximum, depending on the gun of course.

Macroline fittings are typically only rated to under 300-psi, that's okay. Well it might not be okay per-se, but it's what we all use...lol

[fretmelter]

ok but i the air from my tank isnt lp its HP and i guess those plastic ones are ok.

[viperguy212]

as ydna said we all run microline and yes it will be fine HP or LP, maybe not the safest but still lol

as for this hose is rated at 800psi, ur perfectly fine

[Ydna]

if you're trying to get macroline fittings (for HPA or CO2 tank pressures) then you'll really have to get metal ones. I've never tried the plastic ones myself but I wouldn't expect them to hold.
If you're using a bottomline reg that's adjustable, you can use hte plastic ones no problem. But HP pressures might not work so good...

[drake89]

just got to the NIB forum of the B/S/T and pick up some $1 macro fittings and hose

[fretmelter]

yeah i check out tht. and do it the right way (sigh) lol
