Modifying a Paintball

Regulator for BBIQ

The Necessary StuffSourcing Parts and Supplies is an Important Engineering Skill

Integrated Regulator and TankInherently 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
