PCP Hand Pump Review - 4,500 PSI - Beware of Fixing The Hiss

This is a review of the PCP Hand Pump. It's a 4,500 psi paintball tank pump that will blow your mind with it's quality. Every paintball player should have one of these. This is an amazing Christmas Gift for any paintball gamer.

Oh dear, if in doubt read the instructions ! I have the same pump and presumably the same instructions in Chinese English. 1. Check that the seals for the pressure gauge and whip are located in the pump block before assembly. 2. Fit the gauge and whip and tighten by hand + 1/2 turn with spanner. There is absolutely no need to use thread tape! 3. The instructions specifically state not to over tighten the gauge. 4. When complete, using the blank in the quick release fitting, test to 3000psi and check for air loss - you would have saved a lot of effort had you done that. When pumping, allow a second at each end of the stroke for the air to transfer between the three stages, after all it’s not a race.

noted!

Besides, you should take a rest every 50 pumps. Open valve to let vapor, water and heat out. Then, shut the valve to restart next 50 pumping.

PCP (Pre - Charged Pneumatics) airguns - high pressure pellet guns that can shoot a lead pellet at supersonic speed and can use larger calibers than .177 (they even have a 50 cal PCP air rifle). The original intent of the pump did not have "paintball" in mind, so none of the "P" in PCP stands for paintball. Just a happy coincidence that paintball and airsoft are using the same fill valves for our HPA.

Great pump

[@gordonfischer8484]

I payed 100 Canadian for mine shipped in 2 days from Amazon. Different model than the one you got, very similar. Well worth the price.

[@richardreeves6708]

26 seconds in …. this thing is remarkable ! …. umm, I have yet to assemble it. dude … really everybody wants to be a KZbin star some need to hide in the closet

[@jonnyx348]

Have one build quality extremely good.

[@garyalensr]

Well I was gonna say awesome video until ya broke the fitting but I do wanna say I just bought this from Amazon 4/7/21 and it was at my door 2 days later 4/9/21. I paid $49.99 for mine. I do have to agree, it is built solid!! Also while pumping up something, it's recommend that you stop and take breaks so the pump don't get to hot. I really haven't used mine yet because I wanted to watch some videos to make sure I'm properly using it. I know it's a chore to do it with a hand pump but will absolutely save me money down the road.. One more question? Did you ever get a new piece and fix it? If yes how did it work for you?

[@richardhenderson9127]

What brand and model is it?

[@Sertao2013]

If you want the pump seals to last a long time you have to pump it slow and steady so it never gets warm while your pumping . Pumping to fast is the main reason the seals leak in a short time of use . take a break about every 5 minutes for at least 2 minutes the slower you pump the longer you can pump without stopping . Let your body weight do the work on the downward pump . Let it take a good 5 to 10 seconds to reach the bottom when the pressure starts to increase . I would take it apart and re-lube every thing before I would use it again after the way you treated it or your just going to destroy the seals because you got rid of all the lube it had to start with .

[@JohnnyTwoStep89]

So...you didnt try it prior to making this video amd youre ranting and raving how awesome it is before its even assembled?

[@ModernDayTech]

Oops, hopefully can get a new fitting and fix it.

[@SilverSerpent5]

MDT, yep. it will be here on the 10th. HA! How much research have you done on using story telling to increase retention? Have you had success with it. Schmoyer is big on story telling.

[@heksogen4788]

You will kill all high pressure orings if you pump so much that you can feel the heat on the outside tube!!! Imagine how hot it's there in that small high pressure tube...

[@gboutdoors5198]

can i use wd40 to lubricate it its very hard to pump at this point

[@Seabass1206]

don’t use wd40 bro wd 40 is a degreaser😂😂

[@gboutdoors5198]

@@Seabass1206 ok thanks for telling me

You need doc Johnson anal lube for your main shaft, And fisting butter for the o-rings

[@zginqe630]

Been looking at buying one but mixed reviews some are shit some are good

[@savagebullrider4648]

Didnt a wrench come with it

[@savagebullrider4648]

Ha answer the question

[@SilverSerpent5]

Yes, a wrench was included but it did'nt fit. Oh well.

[@savagebullrider4648]

It didnt leak in initial test

[@SilverSerpent5]

It started leaking when the gauge showed 200psi. It took pressure to reveal the hiss.

[@stevew145]

ahhh haha teflon tape will not help you there man, those are straight threads. What you needed to do was replace the oring. teflon tape only works on tapered threads because it allows the tapers to wedge together tighter forming a seal. The oring with tape over it is like a double gasket. That will leak forever no matter how tight it is. realistically a 1/4 turn past hand tight would be tight enough.

[@Skill.GODSENT]

How much time for 1000 psi ?

[@SilverSerpent5]

Long time..

[@shpao4168]

I have Beeman QB chief II plus. The tank is 136cc. I pump 50 times to get 1000 psi. Take a rest and open the valve to let vapor and heat out. Then, next 50 pumps to reach 2000 psi. The last 50 pumps is kind of tired to 3000 psi.

[@glennandreflem8901]

thats 10 min i dont get beck!

[@savagebullrider4648]

Shit

[@SilverSerpent5]

Yep. A new part is only 10 bucks. It'll be here in 10 days.

[@okamisan3642]
