Tank Output Pressure for a Classic Timmy?

Iconic Muffinman · 08-31-2011, 10:43 PM

So.. I just snagged a MINT Classic Timmy and a bunch of parts for a steal, but Ive never owned a Timmy before. Im wondering what kind of output pressure I should set my tank at to get this old gal shooting butter-smooth?

The manual recommends a tank output of 500psi, but Ive heard rumors of standard [850psi] output being workable without damaging the system?

I know its worth noting, I am NOT running an external reg at the moment, as I am wrking with VERY limited funds, and cannot afford one. Its bad enough I have to by a new mask after spending $591 to get glasses [for the first time].

IF it still has the factory HPR a medium or high pressure will be fine. If the HPR has be converted to a volly & a vertical HPR has been put on, a medium or high pressure output tank will work. IF it has no HPR period, get one before gassing up.

Thank you for all of your help good sir. All of that information is seriously greatly appreciated!

I believe it is still in the original HPR/LPR configuration, but I will be confirming this once the actual marker arrives.
