CO2 vrs. Condor Valve?

Outwardly, the valve on my CO2 tank looks like the one on my normal Talon tank. Or to be more exact, like the one on a friend’s Condor tank (has a large hole). Is it the same? Can I take it off the CO2 adapter and screw it onto a HPA tank and have a Condor tank?

Is there an issue with the blow out disk, it’s a factory only item, right?

TIA

Thanks very much, that’s useful info. Do you know how old the CO2 valves are, that is was the new style valve in common use then?

I have a friend with the tool to pull them, maybe I should just ask him to do so.

I’d still like to be sure they don’t fit a 1800 psi burst disk or something else that will make gassing up with HPA more fun….

I’ll pull a “disk” on my co2 adapter to make sure, but as I remember they are 4200psi, same as the hpa tanks. Will post again with an exact answer. Co2 tanks have their own burst disk so they have no reason to use a lower one. I got mine right after the New condor design came out and within 6mo of the co2 adapter being introduced, so I figure they probably brought out the co2 just to have a way to utilize the now defunct Old condor valve.

Will Update with burst disk psi shortly.

Well, both my co2 adapters have a 2-piece burst disk (hpa tanks are 1 piece and have pressure stamped/printed on the inside) and the inner part won’t come out easily, so I don’t have a finding on the pressure for the burst disk.

Thanks, I recall that too, but can’t verify it. I wonder if they changed/upgraded when they changed the design for the Condor…..

I’ve got two condor tanks, one new valve and one old. both My co2 adapters are an exact match internally to the old style condor (with the possible exception of the valve spring, couldnt say for sure on that).

I think I remember reading that the valve for co2 is just the old design Condor valve.
