Abstract
This specification covers the male and female threaded connectors used to interface a propellant source to a paintball marker. The male connector shall incorporate a means for propellant shutoff that shall meet the maximum leakage requirement. When the male and female connectors are joined and pressurized, together they shall meet the maximum leakage specification. The male and female connector shall conform to the physical envelope described. The male connector may contain, as a means of propellant shutoff, a valve core to provide for an automatic shutoff of flow at the time of disconnection. The female connector shall have a provision for the self venting of residual gas pressure prior to the disconnection of the threaded interface.
