EPeS IGL HPA S&F Braided Hose, 20 cm, QD Foster + 1/8 NPT – Fresh Green

IGL HPA Hose S&F with a length of 20 cm in fresh green color.

Equipped with a Foster Series 2 QD coupling (male) and 1/8 NPT (outer thread).

IGL hose suitable for direct installation into HPA systems and subsequent routing into the pistol grip or stock.

A 4 or 6mm fitting is required for installation into an HPA system.

Reliability or a cool look? EPeS hose is always the EPiC choice.

How to Assemble an HPA Setup:

Switching from manual and electric guns to HPA propulsion may seem complicated at first, but it actually follows the proven principle that you know from AEG guns.
The power source is not electricity, but compressed air. It needs to be placed in a bottle that screws onto the regulator, similar to how electric energy is placed in cells (batteries) and connected to the gun with a connector.
As energy flows from the battery through wires, air flows through the hose. The battery determines the performance based on the number of cells, while the HPA performance is managed by the regulator setting.
Then, air enters the HPA unit in the gearbox, where it takes care of the shot, just like electricity through the motor.

Therefore, for a complete HPA setup, you will need:

• HPA bottle with compressed air (larger bottle = more shots, but more weight and harder placement on gear)
• Regulator (set the output pressure according to the desired performance and unit capabilities)
• HPA hose (from the regulator to the outlet from the gun, preferably with QD couplings)
• HPA unit/system in the gun
