Macro line

[King0liver]

Can i use a Macro line with unredgulated CO2? Im wondering because im going to order a drop forward for my 98c and it would be easier than trying to find the right length steel hose

You can.. but steel would be a lot better, especially on co2. It is a lot higher flowing and, in my experiences, just works better w/ co2.

But, macroline will work.. just not the best..

[TBC]

Actually, macroline is higher flowing than an SS hose.

A quick question about high flow lines. I work with my dad as a turd hurder (pulmber) on the weekends and I was wondering something. you can run 4 inch pipe but if you have a 1/4 fitting at the end the water will come out faster but at a higher pressure correct? dose the same thing happen to gas?



me = stupid

Don't flame this is just what I noticed.

it WILL come out faster but at a LOWER pressure. the faster water moves the lower the pressure because it doesnt have time to press against the walls.

/\ \/ /\ t /\ R

Yeah but once you stop the flow the pressure equalizes, so once the gas stopped flowing in the marker (which is most of the time) the pressure will balance out. Or in other words, I have no idea

[Steimes]

so um since they all pretty much have the same fitting openings they are all the same (besides super tiny mirco line? or something like that?)

[elTwitcho]

I believe your flow rate is limited to the size of your smallest fitting. Microline is smaller than a macroline and macroline fitting, so it flows slower

[Steimes]

oooooo all makes sence now, I figured all the fittings were the same. Like were the threads go into the gun.....



Thanx
