Modifying a Paintball Regulator for BBIQ
The Necessary Stuff Sourcing Parts and Supplies is an Important Engineering Skill
Integrated Regulator and Tank Inherently Safer Than Remote Regulators High Pressure Circuit Lines are not required Exposure to Catastrophic Damage is Reduced
The Regulator Should Have These Features High and Low Pressure Burst Discs High and Low Pressure Gages ¼” QD Fill Port ¼” Low Pressure Port Adjustable and Lockable Pressure Setting
Paintball Regulator Parts are Readily Available Easily Repaired Fast Delivery Simple Construction Affordable
BBIQ Technical Regulations Require Additional Modifications Manual Low Pressure On/Off Valve Low Pressure System Bleed Valve Overpressure Relief Valve
Swagelok Corporation Offers Two Necessary Components Note: All Components must be rated at their working pressure or above.
This Swagelok Valve has Dual Functionality On/Off Valve Rated at 3000 psi Vents the Low Pressure Circuit as it Closes
SMC Corporation Makes a Miniature Low Pressure Gage 0-300 psi Lightweight Rugged
SMC Corporation Also Manufactures One Touch Fittings Rapid assembly and disassembly Light Weight and Rugged Extremely Easy to Use
Other Fittings are Required to “Set-up” a BBIQ Regulator “T” Fittings Shown on the Right Union Fittings Nipples
SMC Corporation One Touch Fitting 3/8” x 1/8” NPT Swagelok On/Off/Bleed Valve 1/8” NPT 90 Degree Elbow 1/8” NPT Nipples 1/8” NPT “T” Fitting 1/8” NPT Nipple ¼” x 1/8” NPT Reducer ¼” NPT Union Swagelok Adjustable Pressure Relief
Time to Learn by Doing Time to Create a BBIQ Pneumatic System It’s Educational It’s exciting It’s What Engineers Do for a Living
