Palmer's Fatty reg question

skx762 · 11-02-2006, 04:24 PM

I am pondering a project. I want a very short Reg to sort out Co2 before a Mag reg.

I am trying for a very compact AutoMag and I want to run a Reg in the vertical ASA adapter but am short of vertical space. Would it be ok to run a Palmers Fatty straight from a Co2 tank (either 7 or 9 oz)? Would the output then be enough to power a Mag reg?

I have had good luck with Co2 and either a Palmers’ stabilizer or Cocker reg, but will the Fatty be ok? I see it labeled as a “low pressure” reg. could it be converted to high pressure?

Are there any other Co2 compatible short regs that might work?

Any help would be appreciated.

doubt the fatty will work. there max output is 450psi.
yeh you can run co2 straight to them.

Palmers makes a sidesaddle reg designed specifically to go on a mag. If you're buying straight out, you would be better off to go with the sidesaddle Stabilizer.

I see the "Side-Line" Stab on the Palmer's page now. I don't know how I missed that before. Not exactly how I planned it, but it would work. Robertsr, do you have one mounted on any of your herd?

Nope, I don't. However I've seen it on one or two mags in the field. Seems to be nice and compact. I would suspect that it would give you optimal CO2 performance provided the weather was warm enough.

I'm going to try an R-2000 reg first. Nothing like wasting a little money before doing the right thing.

I want something more vertical than horizontal. I read a lot of reviews and it seems they run good on Co2 but if the pressure is turned down they have a slow recharge rate. They either run good on a lot of oil or too much oil makes them slow.

I guess I will have to expirement with that one.

Good luck. I've had wildly inconsistent luck with the r-2000's.

Another thing you might look into is the Custom Products regs. They have a small version that was really well regarded when it came out. It's a sort of performance comprimise between the Stabe and the R-2000.
