What is the trick to removing the tank valve on a spinloc tank? I got a Huben regulator I want to install, and darned if I can get the tank valve to budge.

If it is red loctite you need 500f.Maybe put a little heat on the tank neck to soften the lock compound and expand the threads? Say, a heat gun or a soft flame, past the end of the blue flame of a atandard home blowtorch, mabe 20 seconds.
I'm sure it has something to do with protecting a revenue stream. Probably want you to buy a tophat and bottle if you wanted to put a CF bottle on the gun.OK
I'm thoroughly confused.
Why would you Loctite a bottle?
When pressurized it will not move.
Correct?
just my 2 dumb

AF might counter that since the CF bottle is at a higher pressure, it needs a valve tuned for that, and so they only provide the correct valve-tank combinations. One downside to something that is idiot-easy to work on is that idiots will work on them. They could still have revenue if they sold bottles and valves separately, but then might be responsible for the mis-use of those items. The 3000 psi valve on a carbon bottle is one thing, but a 4500 psi valve on an aluminum bottle... somebody, somewhere will fill that to 4500 psi.I'm sure it has something to do with protecting a revenue stream. Probably want you to buy a tophat and bottle if you wanted to put a CF bottle on the gun.
Niksan has the rear bottle and adapter on the Escalade rifle thread locked.
