I recently bought some macroline and didn't notice the working pressure rating is 590psi till it got here. Problem is, I only have high pressure output tank regs. Question is, will the line blow up of I try to use it anyway or should I just take the L and order some different macroline? I really want to finish this build but if that's what it takes then so be it.

Personally I’d order new macroline. It’s not worth the potential for injury.
A buddy of mine had his macroline burst once, it didn’t result in any injuries in that case, but it was very exciting to say the least.Check out my YouTube channel for overview videos of the WGP Karnivor, Orracle, and 2005 Black Magic!

Honestly? Most of our paintball macro hose and fittings aren't up to snuff. If it's not super thin walled hose, I'd run it - your fittings are only rated for 200 psi anyways.Comment

I have plenty some black nylon rated for 900 PSI. I can send some your way for shipping cost if you want it. I buy it here because it is rated for the pressure and the fittings are too.
Macro Line is $13.75 for 25 feed + shipping from them.
