 Topic: Microline installationPosted: 27 October 2005 at 11:43pm |

Is there a trick to installing microline and making it not leak, seems I cannot
get it to stop leaking, it is a very small leak though, and should the fittings have o-rings on the inside? |

micro line is small diameter, leaks all the time, bursts all the time.
Macroline is bigger, accomodates more air. rarely leaks, rarely bursts. |

The trick to making sure that the lines don't leak at the connections
is to make sure they are the proper length, and that the ends are cut
cleanly. Make sure you are using teflon tape where the fittings thread
into your gun and ASA.

Microline is used almost exclusively on Cocker 3 ways. Macro is what you need.

close hybrid.
Microline is used in the same application as Macro, just a different diameter. The hsoe to which you are referring is usually called either Cocker hose, or Pneumatic Tubing |
