You might want to check a schematic of the marker and ask your question using correct terminology. It's a bit hard when trying to identify what a "barrel thingy" is to figure out what you are asking. My assumption is you are wanting to take the braided steel line off and connect a remote airline directly to the input for the powertube/valve. This is an unusual way to connect a remote. Most people just use a male adapter that they screw into their ASA and plug their remote into that using a female quick connect. You could remove the male quick connect and screw it directly into the powertube/valve, but personally, I wouldn't. If you trip and fall or snag the remote on something, you are pulling directly on your valve. Risky at best IMO. |

I think you would find it very difficult to install a remote
adapter fitting directly into the valve.
There just isn't enough room in the receiver to do it. I would suggest using the remote line as it
is intended & connect it through the ASA adapter. |

I have seen it done but they used 1/8th brass to clear the reciever. But you WILL get leaks as the line wiggles and the Teflon seal breaks. You will also have to replace the power tube once the treads strip or cracks.
I also seen people run brass out to a 90, drill a hole in your reciever. Voiding your warranty and putting a 45 degree fitting and a QD nipple. These tend to be more successful but are labor intensive. |
