Q:

Draining a bottle?

OK, I’ve got a Condor valve coming, so i’m trying to drain the tank of the air so i’m using a nut and a Condor/Talon fitting. So I screw in the fitting and air starts to come out very slowly but within a short period of time the air starts to increase and come out faster and faster so I back off the fitting, to where it starts letting out slowly again. Is this normal? Do I constantly need to adjust the fitting to regulate the air coming out?

As the pressure decreases, the initial force on the top hat increases opening the valve wider which lets the air out quicker and quicker….

Oooo, 2000 posts!!
Must get a life sometime… 😆

Yeah I know what you mean. It starts off slow then gets quicker….
I just run away….. 😆

Congrats, on your 2000th post! I just found it strange as the pressure was constant on the tophat, I assumed the air release would remain constant as well.
Thanks. 😀

IDA,
for GOD’s sake, put a penny or dime or something in the fill adapter and slowly screw the valve / tank in there buddy.
The air will leak out, trust me

Later-
