HK Army Elite Protector Kit – Regulator Thread Guard & Fill Nipple Cover - Orbit

Protect the most critical parts of your air system.

The HK Army Elite Protector Kit is a premium thread protector and fill nipple cover combo designed to safeguard your paintball or airsoft air system from damage, dirt, and downtime. Whether you’re transporting tanks, staging between games, or storing gear long-term, this kit keeps your regulator threads and fill nipple protected and ready.

Elite Thread Protector

The Elite Thread Protector screws directly onto your tank regulator, shielding threads from impact damage, cross-threading, and wear during transport. Machined from durable aluminum with custom Elite 3D milling and two-tone anodizing, it offers both protection and a clean, professional finish. A laser-etched HK Army icon tops it off for unmistakable style.

Included are two spare O-rings, giving you a quick field fix if a seal fails during play.

Elite Fill Nipple Cover

The Elite Fill Nipple Cover snaps securely over your tank’s fill nipple using a ball-bearing locking system, keeping dirt, debris, and moisture out of your air system. This prevents clogs, seal damage, and inconsistent fills, ensuring reliable performance every time you gas up.

Precision-machined from aluminum with matching Elite styling, the cover fits any standard one-way valve or fill nipple and installs or removes effortlessly.

Together, these components form a compact, lightweight protection kit that helps extend the life of your regulator and keeps your tank field-ready at all times.
