Remote Line Problem

Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2009 1:28 am Post subject: Remote Line Problem

Okay..

The quick disconnect part of the remote line, where it attaches to the part on the gun is leaking on me. I just noticed this last weekend when i was at the Resident Evil Gaint Game. Which was awsome btw... But yea. It wiggles around on it and if i get it positioned just right it doesnt leak.. But hell.. im playing paintball i cant keep it in that same position..

My question is. Is it the o-ring inside of the disconnect part? Not the one on the gun. the one that is connected to the entire line.

Any help would be awsome.. Thanks.

it's a very common problem with the quick disconnect. replace the tiny black o-ring in the slide check vavle and you should have no more leaks. The o-ring is VERY small, about the size of an aspirin. Grab a very small screwdriver to pry it out and replace it with a new one.

Hope that helps!

Hey guys! Good to see ya around...

I agree with Vyper, check out that little o-ring. It can get dinged up pretty easily. Let us know what happens when you get it swapped out.

Okay. Any suggestions on where to get a replacement or should i just check the hardware store?

Sorry for the delayed response. I am traveling across the country for work for 7 weeks, so things are a bit dicey for me.

I am not sure that a home improvement store would carry one. Do you have a paintball shop near by? Or get a kit of paintball o-rings that has it. You can never have enough o-rings...

I have paintball shops all over the state. but most of them deal with the Speedball players and dont even stock Remote Lines. I suppose i could bring the o ring in and see if they have one that matches it..

a plumbing supply store would or 'should' have one as well. I would also try a small hardware store like a Truevalue or an ACE hardware.

Missed that one. A plumbing store or smaller hardware store may be your best bet. They many time carry the exact item that you can't find at the "big box" home improvement stores.
