500 psi max? Not so sure that's right. Second link doesn't work.
It baffles me why people ask AFTER they buy something whether or not it'll work. |

Sorry bro, just.... in a rush here, I'm trying to get EVERYTHING on Friday lol, The barbs were basically 1\8 however I did not see an O-Ring on them so I also ordered these https://palmer-pursuit.com/ecom/product_info.php/products_id/155?osCsid=15754825e9eb60e8555e25b573b23e83 - Palmer Gaskets I got the rubberized metal ones.

Seems kinda low. Then again, I don't see a higher pressure one, and people do use Palmers QEVs so I guess you're ok. |

Actually the "High-Flow" one on their website which I didn't list says 300PSI.... the Clippards one I believe is about 150PSI.... so I was actually surpised at how high this one was. Do you think those gaskets will make a pretty good seal (I HATE TEFLON TAPE!) ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

They should, provided they fit. What's wrong with the tape? |

I've just heard of problems with teflon coming loose and shooting into the Cyclone...not easy to get out... I'm only experianced at striping my A-5.. not the Cyclone. ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

| It would only come loose if the tape extends beyond the threads. As long as none of it dangles in the path of the air, it wont come off. |

Ok... so I can use that instead of the gaskets for screwing the QEV into the Cyclone? What would you use? Gaskets or Teflon? ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

| Gaskets first, and if they don't fit or otherwise don't work, teflon. |

Cool. I had to cancel it and reorder because Tippmann Pros is outta stock so I had to order it directly from Palmer. No teflon is required it seems.. ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

Someone here posted that Tippmann wil send FREE upgrade for the R/T (the same $20 kit from tippmann parts) as long as you tell them its for your marker that will no longer be using CO2 but HPA tank. Is that true? |

What would the total cost of this upgrade? I just ordered the barbs and QEV from palmer and it was like $27. I still need to purchase the kit from Tippmannparts for $20 plus shipping. Do you guys think its more cost effective to purchase an e-grip?

No.. you tell them you would be useing LP and you would also be lying.. I guess it would be technically worth it, I already ordered mine though. QEV From Palmers was like 37 it had the 1\8 barb and high-flow qev, hoses about 28 (including shipping)... I'm not doing vortex yet so this should be fine for me. I'm just makin my R\T a Super R\T and also powering up the Cyclone so that it can keep up with the SUper R\T ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

So I should tell them I will be using a LPK with response trigger that the cyclone is not feeding? They will then send the same kit that tippmannparts has for $20? |

I guess... yeah... if you can convince them.. they will most likely start throwing stuff at you like.. "Have you tried.." "Are you sure.." and all of that annoying stuff. ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

| Thanks. I'll try that if not I guess I'll have to buy the kit, bringing the total for the super r/t to about $50 |

...Super R\T you only need 20$.....If you mean Super R\T + QEV then... yeah, it'll cost more... you could buy the QEV alone... I mean if you do get the 1\8 hoses and fittings from Tippann for free, you would just need to get a QEV and a barb... that would be only like 20$ total ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.
