 Topic: A5 valve problemPosted: 17 November 2010 at 10:09pm |

hey a while ago i had to replace my valve body for my a5 because the large oring wouldnt stay put. replacing the valve fixed the problem for about 2 months then it broke again! i have had a few different people look at it but nobody can figure out why its happening. one person said it might be the tank im using, which is a 3000 psi tank. he suggested trying a 4500 psi tank or co2
Does anyone know how to keep the valve from breaking again?

If it really is only two months, contact Tippmann and I am sure they will replace it for you. I see no reason why the tank you are using would have any effect on an o-ring not staying in place. Check the powertube and make sure it is not damaged or has any imperfections on the inside.

Hi I also have a Tippmann A5 with a simialar problem. The tombstone keeps on pushing out of the valve and breaking the tombstone latch with the pin in place. Ive replaced the tombstone latch about 5 times and replaced the valve o rings twice and still the same problem. Ive just had problems with my A5.
