What’s the Tippmann pneumatic hose ID and OD for the cyclone and RT? Material? Is it essentially the same thing as cocker pneumatic tubing or is it something else?

Tippmann cyclone/RT hose?

It's basically the same as cocker pneumatic hose. 1/16 ID, give or take I believe.
Somewhere in a box I have some fatter hose conversions. Uses a hose with double the ID. Got fittings for just RT, just Cyclone, and combo of both. Pretty necessary for LP tinkering, or getting that RT to rip at rather excessive rates of fire (though not at the same time).

K, that’s what I had remembered. I have the fatter hose for my 98 with both cyclone and RT, but the RT is a little finicky. I’m thinking of reducing down to the 1/16” ID to see if that makes it more consistent. Have the fittings on-hand or en-route, but missing the longer hose in the smaller diameter.
Appreciate the help!Originally posted by Chuck E Ducky:

To get the most out of the RT I found it was best if you didn't use the cyclone, to make sure ALL the diverted air goes back to the RT. Some friends and I threw together a 98 with RT and fat hose and had it registering at 24 bps on the big chrono, being fed by a Halo. It kicked the trigger back hard enough to actually cause pain in your finger when shooting it. Wasn't particularly good for hammer and sear longevity though.
