I got a 32 degree expansion chamber recently and when i installed it in my gun it leaked. The leak is where the metal line meets the expansion chamber. I was told to try and use liquid nails to stop the leak, which i tried with no luck. Well i got the liquid nails off and i am back to ground zero. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks steny

the air leaks from between the screw (that screwes into the expansion chamber). So do i wrap it around the outside of the expansion chamber/steel hose? sorry Steny

First of all, you never buy 32 degrees products. secondly, you dont have to put steny after every message you post. But, if you wanna fix it, try using telfon tape like the other dude said. just screw your expansion chamber in, and wrap the tape where the chamber meets the gun so no co2 will leak out. hope that helps. :cool:

thats not the way you use teflon tape. havent you ever watched those your new house with michael holigan. no? good, at least you have a life. you wrap the tape AROUND the threads on them, only about one layer. then you just screw it in. dont worry its not too hard and it doesnt matter if some of it tears. teflon tape is great, you can secure barrels, and use it to secure any air connection.

First of all..People have their opinions about different company and secondly he can put his name after every post if he pleases.
Wrap some teflon tape around the threads of your expansion chamber and see if it doesnt leak anymore.

if there is a place at the top of the x chamber put an o ring on it but if it is leaking where the hose goes into the chamber use teflon , if it still leaks after u put the teflon on the hose then maybe use loctite

Hey sayan warrior guess what? i know he has his own opinion. and i was speaking my opinoin! So, he is allowed to voice his but not me? secondly, i never said "Dont put steny after everything you say" i said "you dont have to" so go back to your *** little dragon ball z show.

First of all, He wasnt stating his opinion..He was asking for help.
If you dont like him putting his own name after every post then I suggest go whine to him over a pm.
So now you accuse me of being stupid for watching a "G*Y" dragonball z show. Pretty pathetic.

I wrapped it aroung the threads and it works. Paint thief it was not what you said it was how you wrote it, it came off as rude. Thanks Saiyan Warrior but there is no point getting upset over something someone said on a message board. Especially if you don't know them and you might be misinterpreting what they wrote.
thanks again
