Adapt JacPac / Paintball Regulator to Full Size CO2 Tank?

Post by TimG » Mon Feb 18, 2013 9:58 pm

Looking to adapt my JacPac (which I think is the same as paint ball tank connection) regulator to my full size 20 lb'er. The threaded connection on the JacPac actually threads onto to the tank, but the 'sealing mechanism' doesn't seem quite the same (even with an o-ring it doesn't seal).

Any idea if such an adapter exists (and I can get it to my door within 3 weeks)?

Few pics of the JacPac regulator.

i think you would need a new cga-320 on that regulator.

Hmm, so a quick google turned up this;

I should pull it apart and verify it is 1/4" pipe thread into the regulator. It must be right?

Anybody need anything from OBK? haha

Make sure you are using rh threads as well. Should be 1/4", but could be 1/8".
