How do the HPA valves work? I know there's a pin valve one, but are there others, like on/off type?

**outlaner_0990** · June 26th, 05:45 PM

it's basically a pin valve with a regulator below it. not much else. i believe there are on/off tanks, never used one so i'm not 100% sure, but just buy an on/off asa. that way, you can get any tank.

If I got an on/off smartparts valve would that fit it or are they different sizes then co2?
How do on/off ASAs work?

no it won't work on an HPA tank. first of all, it doesn't have a regulator. second of all, i don't think someone at your level should be switching valves yet, if ever. I don't do it, even though I know the procedure, just to dangerouse. Just buy a crossfire tank, they are the best for the money.

No, I'd take it to the proshop to get it installed. I was thinking about getting a cocker, that's why I was considering HPA

just get a drop of uni mount with an on/off on it. the SP on/off valve that goes into the tank will NOT work with HPA. you have to have a reg with HPA.

How do those uni mounts work?

only adjustable tanks have on/offs as far as i know. (you can turn the pressure down to 0 or theres a switch where you can keep the output pressure up still)

basicly a uni mount just bolts right to the bottom of the frame and it has an on/off made into it.
