AEA AEA HP SF Bottle Adapter (Thread PSI Calculation)
- Thread starter hgg2k
- Start date
Nice steady string. Have you dialed speed down? My SS shoots more in the low 800's. I get 34 shots to point of aim at 50 yds before it drops off with the .3 L tank. Starts out at 820 and goes to 780 fps.

Just received an aftermarket bottle adapter from Germany. (ebay seller).
Installed it, filled up the bottle up to 100bar with a hand pump and when I opened the hand pump release valve,
all the air from the bottle came out from the pump valve... When I removed the fill probe, air was still
coming out from the fill probe hole. So, I removed the the bottle adapter, unscrewed the small valve screw
and this is what I found:
Broken valve o-ring. This tiny 1mm o-ring seated around the sharp threads of an M4 screw is what prevents 250bar
of pressure blowing out of the fill probe hole... It doesn't look good to me. If I am not mistaken I think that the
stock AEA o-ring is 1.5mm thick.
Does anybody know the exact dimensions of this stock valve o-ring?
Thanks.
