@@Alex-oy6wbAn airgun plenum is the chamber of compressed air between the regulator and valve. Not all airguns have plenums. Just those with regulators. Watch the video again. It shows a plenum.
Good info. Seems like most PCP's are not regulated but that trend may be changing? Also, large caliber guns most likely won't be regulated because only good for 3 or 4 shots?
DON’T ADD OIL OR ANY PETROLEUM BASED OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS INTO THE HIGH PRESSURE CHAMBER! All you will have done is create an unsuspecting pipe bomb for you or whoever fills it up. When you fill it you will make a diesel engine minus the engine part. Basically you get a fireball consuming the entire PCP tank volume at insane pressures leading to a horrible day for you.
Now I better understand the relationship of the regulator and plenum. Great video!
Thanks for watching!
What is plenum?

@@Swamp-Fox thanks. Must’ve missed when he actually said the word “plenum”. Appreciate the clarification.
@@Alex-oy6wb No worries…..you are very welcome! Have a great weekend!
Awesome video, very easy to understand

Correct, no regs in big bores, largely does not make sense there. Correct on more and more guns coming to the market that are regulated.
But correct me if im worng you mentioned if preasure drops the reg stops working? So effectively becoming unregulated?
Very good explanation!
@SpringPistonRifleFever LoneWolfStrength I finnaly understood what a plenum was 🤣!
Thank you, gents!
@@LowkeyAirgunner whats plenum?
@@Alex-oy6wb "A secondary air chamber 😁"
_Acting like I didn't watch the video again._
That was informative thanks
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for posting.
Question; is there a benefit to adding a drop of silicone oil into the reservoir to keep seals conditioned?

@@dnendion4300 he said silicone. Silicone is what you want to lube orings with inside the pressure chamber... It's not flammable
I just want it for picking co2 would be fine. If I want something harder hitting it 308
