Orctac 48ci DOT Paintball Tank — 3000psi Aluminum Cylinder with 800psi Regulator & 5/8-18UNF Thread

Orctac DOT 48ci paintball tank is a compact, DOT-certified 48 cubic-inch aluminum air cylinder rated 3000psi with a 800psi output regulator and a 5/8-18UNF inlet thread.

This lightweight tank pairs industry-standard fittings and pressures so it works with most paintball markers and airsoft setups. Made with a flat-bottom for stable storage, the cylinder ships separately from the regulator to meet transport rules; you mount the regulator after delivery. Built in Taiwan and compliance-tested to DOT standards, this 48ci model balances portability with enough air for short skirmishes, practice sessions, or backup use.

How much air and runtime will I get from a 48ci 3000psi tank?

A 48 cubic-inch cylinder filled to 3000psi delivers a limited number of shots compared with larger tanks but is ideal for lightweight carry and short games. Runtime depends on marker efficiency, firing mode, and shot duration—semi auto uses fewer bursts than full auto or ramping modes.

• 48ci capacity at 3000psi for compact, portable air supply
• Suitable for short matches, target practice, or as a spare bottle
• Actual shot count varies by marker flow and player firing habits

Will this tank fit my marker and how do I attach the regulator?

The Orctac tank uses the common 5/8-18UNF inlet thread and an 800psi output regulator, making it compatible with most paintball markers that accept standard fittings. The regulator ships unmounted to comply with shipping regulations; installation is straightforward if you follow torque and sealing guidance from your marker and regulator manuals.

• Standard 5/8-18UNF inlet for broad marker compatibility
• Regulator: 3000psi input, 800psi output—works with many markers
• Regulator ships separate; you screw it on and check seals before use

What safety and certification should I expect from this Orctac tank?

The cylinder is DOT-certified and manufactured to meet transportation and pressure-safety standards. Follow regular inspection and refill protocols: visual checks before each use, periodic hydrostatic testing as required by local regulations, and proper handling to avoid impacts or heat exposure.

• DOT certification for compliance with transport and safety rules
• Manufactured and tested in Taiwan to industry pressure specifications
• Inspect O-rings, threads, and regulator fittings before each fill

How is this tank best stored and transported between games?

Thanks to a flat-bottom design and compact footprint, the bottle stands upright for easy storage and fits into gear bags with minimal bulk. Keep the tank depressurized for shipping, secure the regulator, and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high heat sources.

• Flat bottom prevents rolling and simplifies storage on benches
• Lightweight aluminum construction reduces carry fatigue
• Keep regulator removed or protected during transit per transport rules

Who is this for: Players who want a small, easy-to-carry air source for drills, backyard practices, or short field sessions will appreciate the Orctac 48ci tank. It’s also a practical backup bottle for referees, scenario players, or airsoft users who need a compact DOT-rated cylinder with standard regulator thread compatibility. If you run extended full-auto play frequently, consider larger capacities, but for portability and certified safety in a compact package, this tank is a strong choice.
