Super R/T Help

The parts for the "super rt" arrived from tippmann today.  Great service, it arrived the day after I called for it.  Anyways, here's my predicament:

The a-5 (with rt) comes standard with the banjo fitting for the cyclone, the banjo tfitting, and the banjo fitting for the response trigger.

All of these fittings and hoses are of a small size (i don't know the terminology for the size of these)

So, when the low pressure hoses arrived, it came with a larger hose (says 1/8'') and the banjo fitting for the response trigger, as well as the banjo t fitting to connect the response hose and cyclone hose to the gun.  My problem is this:  On the new t fitting, both hose connectors are 1/8'', so the old cyclone banjo fitting will not attach properly.

How can this problem be solved?  Do they sell banjo fittings at hardware stores etc.  Also, will a 1/8'' hose going to the cyclone cause damage, meaning I should find a t-connector with a 1/8'' on one side, and the smaller fitting on the other, or is it perfectly fine to get a 1/8'' banjo fitting for the cyclone?

If you find my questions confusing, please just give me information on how to get this overall system to work, and please be specific with what parts I need and where I can get them.  I'm not buying the QEV at the moment, so please don't just write posts suggesting that.  Thanks!

You should be using the larger low pressure fittings with the low pressure hose.  If the store is a Tippmann dealer they should be able to get it for you as that is how I got mine.

It didn't do anything to my cyclone.

You should not run into any problem with the 1/8 hose , both my son and I use it and it works great. The r/t will always out shoot the cyclone with or without the QEV when properly tuned, but the the QEV should give you an additional 2-3bps over stock roughly 20bps . Some say they have achieved a higher bps.

I'm definitely not buying from county sports... in the shipping to Canada is a minimum $46 USD...  Screw that... I hate having to pay so much for paintball gear in Canada because there are no good stores that sell specialty stuff like palmers etc.  Back to ebay i guess...

i just got my parts for my a5 as well...same problem about the t fitting...the small hose from the cyclone was too small to fit the new bigger t fitting...but somehow i got it to fit on though...i just heated up the small hose with a blowdryer to soften it up...(did it few times) and some how i got the small hose to streatch up bigg enough to fit the t fitting....tested the gun out with a c02 tank with hardly any c02 left...the cyclone wasn't turning that much...probly due to the low co2.... ok.. =)

 

uuummmm...what will burst? the small hose that connects to the cyclone? well some peepz say that u don't need a qev...and some say u do....so im guess it shouldn't burst....i guess imma just have to find out for my self then...lol...and thanks anyway!!!

if you don't need an qev...then how can u get it to wrk...just so that the hose don't blow?...and u think local pb stores should carry those qev...?

ok...i guess imma get a qev kit too....i actually live near that one pb shop
