Product Description

The siphon tube is for guns that are setup to run off liquid co2.
Requires professional installation.

Notice professional installation...

[mo7stanley]

that might be one, In fact I think it is. But here is another one (http://www.anythingxtreme.com/CO2-Bottle-Anti-Siphon-Tubes-P2114C0.aspx)

And it may come with instructions on how to install, but if I were you, I wouldn't risk it.

if you attempt to install it yourself please notify me of what field you play at, that way we can make sure no one shows up. We dont want you killing anyone with your sure-to-bottle-rocket tank.

That's a Siphon tube. Not an Anti-Siphon. Back in the day, some guns worked better using Liquid Co2. The one that Stanley posted is what you want. Your going to ruin your gun if you install that in your tank and use it.

i don't want 2 use it. i already have an hpa tank and i am getting a 2nd one soon. i just have 5 co2 tanks in my room and i see lots of ppl getting it done paying over 20 bucks for something that looks easy. if i learned how to install one i could probably make lots of money over the summer putting them in tanks for recballers. i could easily make 15bucks per job and it seems very simple.

When I bought my tube, it came with instructions.

Please don't.

People goto school to learn how-to properly and safely install a a/s. Yes it isnt that hard, but if you do not do it correctly and seal the tank back up you have a VERY dangerous item on your hands. There is a reason why a/s say to have a professional do it, its a very dangerous thing if done incorrectly.

Not to mention the lawsuits and sueing due to possible injury from poor installation.

even if u put it in wrong it still wouldn't blow up or anything. the worst it could do is blow a burst disc or leek.

Deaths Bring CPSC Paintball Gun Warning

C02 canisters become deadly projectiles

Based on its investigation of two deaths caused by carbon dioxide (CO2) canisters flying off paintball guns, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is issuing a new warning. Paintball gun users should be advised that the brass or nickel-plated valve that connects directly to the canister must not be unscrewed from the canister when removing the canister assembly from a paintball gun. This valve must stay secured and rotate with the CO2 canister.


In both of the deaths investigated by CPSC, the brass valve unscrewed from the canister, turning the pressurized canister into a deadly projectile. In June 2003, a 15-year-old boy died after being struck in the head by a paintball CO2 canister as he was removing the canister from the gun. In February 2004, a female bystander was killed by a CO2 canister that was expelled as someone else was removing the canister from a paintball gun. While these investigations are not complete, CPSC is issuing this new safety warning to help people avoid the hazard.

"We are very concerned about the recent deaths associated with paintball gun canisters," said CPSC Chairman Hal Stratton. "We are actively investigating these cases. Even though our investigation is not complete, we believe it is urgent to provide this new safety message about the valve detaching from the canister while unscrewing it from the paintball gun."

CPSC also recommends that people make sure that any modifications to the paintball gun or the CO2 canister are done properly. For example, installing anti-siphon tubes involves removing and re-installing the canister valve. It is critical that the valve be re-installed with the appropriate adhesive and the proper torque. :eek:
