MaxFloMicro on Nerve

[TaGeR23]

Im ordering a Nerve and a maxflo micro w/tank and im new to highend markers. Here is my question will i need to buy a longer macroline hose to install the maxflo and if so will this one work PSI Low Pressure Macroline Hose - 1 Foot - Red (http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=oP0tfuYD8KstDKIwjL7t1uzXqNDot9LfO1w=?Pro ductID=1FKsFAY73GkAAAD4bq3krFs5).

Thanks for your time

1 foot is more than enough

I would hope that if you are buying the air system and marker as a package that they would include a long enough piece of macroline to attach the air system to the marker. Probably worth asking when you order.

However, if you do need to buy some yourself, that particular brand of macroline is only rated to 450psi, while the Max-Flo Micro puts out 800psi, so you will need some macroline with a higher pressure rating.

It seems like many people have switched from a microline to a macroline. What are some good brands to switch to, for a high pressure system? Thanks.

[Uziel Gal]

Microline is very restrictive of air flow, so few people use it now.

There is some macroline available from http://www.airsoldier.com with a high operating pressure and burst pressure rating. I'd give you a direct link to the product, but I cannot get on to the site at the moment.

Thanks for the help guys. Uziel i could not find anything with the link you gave me. But i did find this PSI High Pressure Macroline Hose - 1 Foot - Black (http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=uxDvkay31U7v--iDkVAvOaZ-83_KgphrILE=?ProductID=4LPAqArb0ZMAAAEE_ZhKu1gg) would it work?

[Uziel Gal]

I would prefer something that listed a high burst pressure, but as far as carrying 800psi is concerned, that hose should work. Airsoldier's server has been taken out of service, which explains why I could not get on to it earlier.

I'm assuming if you are to switch from microline to macroline that you would need to replace both fittings at the ends as well? Sounds logical, just checking to make sure and if so, any tips for taking off the fittings? As it seems from other threads it's a PITA to take off.

[Uziel Gal]

Yes, you would need specific macroline fittings.

You just need to push in the collar, and while still holding the collar hard against the fitting, pull out the hose. Gentle pressure works better than a tug.

There is a slight knack to it, but once you get used to it, disconnecting the hose isn't difficult.

Well thank you verry much guys i recieved my nerve today and LOVE it i got my maxflo hooked up with no problems i did need a longer hose. But i did notice some kick is there something i can do or buy to reduce some kick?
Thanks Again, TaGeR23

Reducing kick will be a matter of adjusting the settings on the marker. These are popular settings that are said to lower the perceived kick of the marker: -

Rendition's Nerve Settings- Dwell @ 30chirps (10ms), Recharge @ 42chirps (15bps), LPR @ 140psi, HPR @ 220psi, volumizer installed

You can reduce the recharge if you want for a higher rate of fire.

The solenoid in my nerve is only rated for 100psi maximum pressure, so the above settings are used at your own risk due to the 140psi LPR pressure.
