Surely you shouldn't be using push fits if it's at full pressure?

After the valve isnt pressurised

Did you custom build the cylinder or is it a off the shelf part? Looks custom but I may be wrong

**xtreme** · 9th May 2012, 20:12

Ye its custom, its a mini version of the Flow and Diablo rams

Sorry I'm probably being stupid but isn't it all pressurised when the ram is fired? Or is it that it's only pressurised for a short amount of time so it's ok?

Ye there is a vent hole (exaust) in bottom of ram so it vents before it reaches high pressure, this was only for testing high pressure ones will be used on final build. we do not recommend using 10bar fittings on a system like this as they can still blow
