Fecking leak

[Elmer_Fudd 28]

The charger port on the AA THE MALE PART is speaking from the ball bearing at the end? filled it to 180 come to take the hose off n the leak was there. I'm currently just packing up before I have even started ... Any ideas? I use a dive tank but not one % to when the filters were changed in the compressor that is at my work, its purpose for filling with clean dry air for paintball tanks, before im shouted at. But they don't always clean the filter could it be shit in the air as its a fairly big leak

 

 

Can I strip it down when its empty and service this part at all?

BUMP.... Any ideas?

give it a quick blast , it may be dirt .

[Buster321c 1,010]

Thought it had been serviced ?

 

And what are you filling it with ??

Ime afraid not Elmer, the early male type fill valve cant be stripped and cleaned like the later type. If it dosent clear the problem as Buster has said with a blast then all you can do is replace it with a new one (Costs about £9.00) if I remember right or change both male and female parts to the later specs, the male part has a proper filtration filter that stops that problem

[Buster321c 1,010]

sounds like it needes doing again , dont it

[Elmer_Fudd 28]

Yeah guess that's Christmas money gone haha. Unless you can help buster:-D.

tron,

Are the newer fill fittings better then? ...

[Tron 173]

The latest type AA filling valves have a excellent filtration system that should pretty well garantee no further foreign matter getting on to the fill valve seat or the firing valve as well. The early type has no such filter built in and to make matters worse is held together by a unusual spring clip such is the tiny place to get at it means if you can get it off it gets destroyed doing so.and you cant get a clip to suit.! If you are really stuck I have a discarded one that holds pressure for a couple of days and you are wellcome to have it and a new bonded sealing washer as well. pm me your address and I will send them in the post. it is a simple job to fit. Cheers, Tron. .

I had exactly the same problem on my s410 after switching from years of using a pump to using a bottle. Its a common problem with the old school male connectors. I tried to find a replacement one, but all the ones I found were slightly different to the one I had, so I went out and bought a complete quick fit connector kit from best fittings and fitted that instead. Problem solved!

 

If you still need a new male connector though should it start leaking again, let me know, ive a brand new one I bought and dont need now.

Thanks buddy top man.
