ASTM F2653-16

Standard Specification for Paintball Valve Male Threaded Connection for Use with Approved Cylinders

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the male threaded connection used to connect a CO2 Control Valve or Compressed Gas Regulator with a normal working output pressure of 10 342 kPa (1800 psig) or less for use with a paintball marker to a DOT approved cylinder.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
