Technical Specifications

Lightweight Design, Heavyweight Performance

The Empire Ultra Light 68/4500 tank sets a new standard for strength-to-weight ratio. Using a carbon fiber wrap over a high-grade aluminum core, Empire engineers achieved an incredible balance between safety, strength, and maneuverability. Compared to traditional aluminum or steel tanks, the Ultra Light cuts off up to 40% of the weight, giving players faster reaction times and less fatigue during long games.

The lightweight build also improves your marker’s center of balance, allowing quicker snap shooting and smoother transitions between firing positions. The reduced mass means you can aim, dive, or switch hands with less strain—giving you a physical edge that translates into real-world performance.

The FLO Basic Regulator – Simple, Reliable, Efficient

The FLO Basic Regulator is the heart of this system. It’s engineered for consistent output and durability while keeping the design simple enough for easy maintenance. Empire focused on creating a fast-reacting, stable regulator that performs flawlessly under both rapid-fire tournament play and long scenario matches.

Features include:

• Stable 800 psi output compatible with nearly all modern markers

• Rapid recharge rate for smooth firing at any rate of fire

• Dual burst disk safety (tank and reg) for protection against overpressure

• Polished piston assembly for reduced friction and longer seal life

• Replaceable fill nipple filter to prevent dirt contamination

• Standard threading for universal ASA compatibility

The FLO regulator gives you the consistency competitive players depend on without unnecessary complexity or adjustments that could fail under pressure. It’s efficient, field-tested, and built to deliver consistent performance over thousands of fills.

Consistency That Wins Games

Every serious paintball player knows: air consistency equals accuracy. The Empire Ultra Light’s combination of stable pressure and efficient flow means each shot exits your marker with uniform velocity. This translates to tighter groupings, more predictable trajectories, and better performance in long-range engagements or precision lanes.

When paired with high-end markers, the FLO regulator’s recharge rate keeps up with demanding firing speeds, preventing shoot-down or velocity drop-off even in extended bursts. Whether you’re running ramping modes in speedball or covering suppressive fire in woodsball, your air system will perform flawlessly from start to finish.

Built for All Conditions

The Empire Ultra Light is designed to perform in any environment. The carbon fiber shell resists temperature fluctuation better than metal tanks, maintaining pressure stability even in extreme heat or cold. The regulator components are precision-machined to prevent leaks and freezing, ensuring smooth operation even during cold-weather games.

It’s rugged enough for the toughest scenarios—dust, humidity, or impacts won’t slow it down when properly cared for.

Safety You Can Trust

Safety is a cornerstone of every Empire air system. Each Ultra Light tank is DOT and TC approved, meaning it meets both U.S. and Canadian safety standards. Before leaving the factory, every tank undergoes hydrostatic testing and quality inspection to ensure structural integrity.

The FLO regulator adds extra protection with dual burst disks—one on the tank side and one on the regulator—so in the rare event of overpressurization, pressure is vented safely away from the player.

Every tank also includes a 5-year hydro cycle, making it field-legal and safe to use at any commercial paintball facility. With proper hydro testing, your tank can remain in service for up to 15 years.

Capacity and Efficiency Of empire ultra light

The 68ci 4500psi setup is widely considered the sweet spot for performance. It provides enough air for approximately 900 to 1,000+ shots per fill (depending on marker efficiency). That’s enough to play entire tournament points or long woodsball matches without refilling mid-game.

This size offers an excellent balance—large enough to sustain aggressive firing styles, yet compact and light enough for players who need speed and agility.

Maintenance and Care

The Empire Ultra Light system is built for years of dependable service. With a few basic maintenance practices, you can extend the lifespan and reliability of both the tank and regulator.

Maintenance Tips:

1. Keep fill nipples capped when not in use to prevent dirt ingress.

2. Avoid overfilling beyond 4500psi.

3. Fill slowly to reduce internal heat buildup and stress on seals.

4. Hydro test every five years as required by safety standards.

5. Store with 300–500 psi remaining to keep internal seals lubricated and prevent drying.

6. Inspect O-rings regularly and replace if damaged or cracked.

Following these steps ensures your tank stays in peak condition for years.
