Need help on reg for tethering

OH! AND Make sure it's connected in the proper input and output order!

BTW are you starting with the reg knob screwed tight (zero pressure shut) first then open the tank valve wide open and then connect hose to the gun then open the reg knob to fill your gun as in the video?

I did it like Joe does in the video with the knob screwed all the way out not tight when I screw it in it will hold pressure but if I try to decrease the pressure lower than the bottle it will just continue to leak out

Based on common sense basic physics of regulators, it would need to vent some air out until it's more or less equal pressure otherwise you wouldn't be able to turn the knob if it were sealed and likely damage it.

Here is expanding on what O said above....

Regulators do have a vent hole, only way to reduce pressure in the line past the regulator is to vent. If your reg is set lower than the pressure in your gun the reg will vent that line and the gun tank since it only knows its output pressure is to high and it needs to lower it till it gets to the reg set point. You can only go higher, if you turn the reg lower it will vent the gun and line till pressure is = to reg set point. How else could it work..? How else could a external tank tethered to your gun tank with reg inline, lower the pressure in your gun connected to a tank with an even higher pressure..?

If you connect gun to tank with closed tank valve, with lower pressure in the gun than the set point of reg then open tank valve does it still vent..?

Just shoot the gun till pressure is lower than your set point psi of inline reg then connect tank & reg and you should never vent a drop....

Thanks to Odoyle we solved the problem . (And pretty damn fast too) I think less than 5 min into me telling him what the reg was doing he had it figured out . ( I noticed Joe B never chimed in ) It was just a simple case of the input and outputs on the reg getting swapped somewhere along the way .

I switched the fittings around and it works just like it should . Thanks joekrooz for the great reg and for helping me get connected to the right people to help 

And for offering to take it back since I couldn't get it going at first . 

This is the reason I love this board there are always guy/ gals out there willing to help out when they can and some of them (odoyle) really know there stuff.

Thanks again to all that offered there help and I'm glad I got it going .

I just noticed 1 hour and 9 min is what it took odoyle to fix it ......lol
