Confused about fitting sizes

[mooman978]

So I have a tippmann 98 asa that I want to use to run a bottomline and I noticed normal macro line fittings don’t fit in the asa but it does work in the reducer. I assume it should be a braided line should be the solution. My understanding was that braided line and macro line are both 1/8. So I am not sure what will fit on both ends.

Did that come off a later Tippmann 98 the one with the full top rail?

Those used weird threaded lines

Yes I think so. The platinum version I believe

Yeah the platinum series uses a compression fitting instead of 1/8NPT.

Oh interesting. Would you know where I can source one? Or should I just find a different ASA?

Find a different ASA , Tippmanns used a hardline so you would have a problem at the other end.....

😩 I had a feeling that was gonna be the case

[mooman978]

If anyone knows of an ASA that sits horizontally on the phantom 45 frame please let me know

[Ecapnation]

Find a standard m98 custom asa those are 1/8 npt

[iamthelazerviking]

The angle of the phantom frame will make every ASA point down, or even up if it's a flat one. You'd need the Phantom frame "upswept" to remove the angle, or try tracking down the 5* adapter block CCI used to make that allows you to mount ASA's horizontal. Or even more rare, an already upswept frame OR a CCM 86 frame.

Update: Conveniently after a bunch of googling and ebaying i found exactly what I was looking for

This seller has a bunch of different configurations and I just happen to have a m98 asa with a braided line with a reducer included.

[Ecapnation]

That reducer doesn't come off fyi

[mooman978]

Do you mean the line can't be removed from it? That shouldn't be a problem I hope 😐.

[Toestr]

Is there a reason you want this specific asa? I would have grabbed the cheapest one with a 1/8npt output (90% of all other asas) if I wasn't looking for anything special.
