Tippmann 98 Custom Platinum Series Power Tube #TA02066 (GG02-UB01)

The Tippmann 98 Custom Platinum Series Power Tube (#TA02066) is an internal component of the paintball gun that acts as the main air and gas transfer system. It contains the valve and sleeve that directs compressed air or CO2 to propel the paintball, and its purpose is to ensure reliable and efficient operation of the marker. The Platinum series version has a specific design for compatibility with the Platinum series' features, such as its self-sealing gas line and connection ports for accessories. 

Function and purpose

• Air and gas transfer: It serves as the main conduit for gas (from CO2 or compressed air) to travel from the air source to the rest of the marker's firing system.

• Component containment: The power tube houses the main valve and gas line, which are crucial for the firing mechanism.

• Valve and sleeve: It includes the main valve, and the #TA02066 specifically refers to the plastic sleeve that goes around it, which is a common point of failure and the cause of leaks.

• Maintenance and upgrades: This part is designed to be easily removable for maintenance or replacement, a feature highlighted for the Platinum series.

• Accessory support: The Platinum series' power tube design includes external ports that allow for accessories like a cyclone feed system to be connected and powered by the marker's air supply.
