I am lookin into buying the GTA Expansion Chamber, and it says it comes with a vertical adapter.  What is a vertical adapter?  Is it supposed to be like a drop forward or something?  Ive thought about it for a while and I can't figure out what it is.

you need a Vertical Adapter to screw in your Expansion chamber, the Vertical adapter screws under your power tube, its a easy instlation just sometimes it wont fit right.

I take it you have a 98 so...

Here is a pic of a vert adapter.

And here is where it goes.

It will screw right into the spot were the steel hose came from.

and make sure when you put in the verticle adapater to screw it in all the way to the bolt, or it will leak obviously.

When you screw the vert adapter into the power tube, you need to screw it in until only 2 threads are showing, or else it won't fit.

That's straight from Tippmanns directions, and its the truth.

and if it gets hard to screw in, take it out and try again. you dont want cross-threading. teflon tape is the easiest to use too.

Use some teflon tape when you install it just to make sure you do not have any leaks. Wrap the tape on the threads so that when you screw it on, it will not unwrap and will say even.
