I am trying to find some links to an external inline regulator for tethering my air Force Texan 457. Thanks in advance!
Tethering
- Thread starter Poke-E
- Start date
I have a DIN valves on my tanks, and using this Huma externally adjustable regulator for several years. I pre-set it at 185 bars (#2 setting) and tethering my Impact all time when I am at my BR range. Very convenient, you can change the pressure on the go. Also replaced the analogue gauge (in the picture) with Huma digital.

Here's a picture of one I have on my shelf (you can see it's a little dusty!). This one is branded as "Empire" but I think it's made by Ninja. I also had a Ninja branded unit but it's currently attached to my dad's tank. I set it up because I was worried about him accidently overfilling his gun. His eyesight isn't so good anymore....

I bought one of these and really like it. It does not require any messing around with the tank - you just add it in your line and you are good to go. Just do be aware that you do need a way to vent the line between the regulator and the gun it is hooked up to - you can't just vent it from the high pressure side at the tank.Another option.
I have not used it on anything using as much air as your Texan, but that should not matter - the refill occurs after the shot.
Here is a thread on it from a while back on GTA: https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=202701.0

Another vote for the Aqua (which is what most others sell) with only one gauge port -for reg pressure- as I saw no need to know the input pressure. Had an extra hose already, local used/guaranteed gauge so saved a couple hundred+ over say a joeB . Worked a charm, adjustable at any time up or down, to bleed just drop psi (which bleeds the line) and unhook.Here is my post on this subject from an earlier thread......

Yes the Reg will adjust up or down... if you drop the pressure it will bleed off the pressure in the line...
But Also the Reg is very stable when you adjust it to a Set Point...
So I will leave at that setting, never touch it unless filling a different gun...
It is better to use the Bleeder valve on the Tank Valve, to drop pressure in the fill line so you can remove it.

You’re a good kid. I sold my 2 AlkinW31E because I figured if I died my kids could seriously hurt themselves trying to fill or shoot dad’s airguns.
It’s love that causes us to worry about the worst possible outcomes.

Dad took care of us and we take care of him now. Getting older and having my own kids really makes me understand what he had to deal with. To be young and stupid again....

I was introduced to August industries by someone who knows his way around air guns very well.
Cedric Sophus and I have never looked back! thank you Cedric

M3+ on the way, the giant 2 gauge is just too bulky for what I need it for.
Karakus was extremely responsive and answered every question I had for him. Shipped same day as well, which other than Amazon, NOBODY does. Can't tell you how many times I've ordered from AoA, they always take a week just to ship.
Anyways . . . can't wait to get it in.

I have gotten tons of feedback about quite a few regulator and really like the compact design of the M3. Were you selling your dual gauge one?.I have not ordered anything yet.

Does anyone have any experience with this Huma regulator? I have this regulator on my tank and I wonder if the Huma will screw onto it?

Have you receiver your inline regulator? I Have a Karakus, that's what made me buy an August. With the Karakus I had to replace 2 times in 6 months, To change the setting you have to take it apart and there are only numbers, nothing telling you how many psi.

I have not received it yet - did you have the MK2 or the M3+ version? I ordered the M3+ so hopefully I don't have to replace it any times in any months, that would really suck.
Why were you having to replace it both times?
Thanks.
