The pre-set Skeleton Air Regulator Wave Spring is a quick, drop-in performance upgrade for modern Planet Eclipse, DYE, and DLX Luxe markers. Its precision woven flat-wire design moves the marker regulator return to setpoint pressure faster than stock for smoother, more precise velocity and improved ball-on-ball and land shooting accuracy.
This version was pre-set at Powerhouse MFG in the USA with a custom made robotic press and does not require shims.
Modern Marker Fitment
Infamous, in collaboration with Powerhouse, is bringing wave spring technology from the bottle regulator to a new generation of paintball markers.
Wave spring technology uses a precision woven flat-wire spring designed to improve consistency and reliability. It helps your marker regulator return to setpoint pressure quickly, supporting smooth, consistent velocity and improved ball-on-ball accuracy.
Powerhouse first introduced wave spring technology in its competition-proven Haymkr, TKO, and Counterpunch regulators. After extensive development and testing, that same performance-driven approach is now available as a quick, drop-in regulator upgrade for select Planet Eclipse, DYE, and DLX Luxe markers.
This version of the Skeleton Air Regulator Wave Spring is pre-set for the compatible marker platforms listed below. No shims are included, needed, or used with this version.

Important installation instructions — read before installing
The velocity adjustment screw must be turned all the way in before the new wave spring is installed. On all compatible markers, turning the screw in clockwise lowers velocity, while turning it out counterclockwise raises velocity. Do not begin installation with the marker's previous velocity setting.
-
Unload and completely de-gas the marker before beginning installation.
-
Using the correct velocity Allen key for your marker, gently turn the velocity adjustment screw all the way in clockwise to its lowest velocity setting. Do not overtighten.
-
Install the pre-set Skeleton Air Regulator Wave Spring according to the installation instructions for your marker.
-
Completely reassemble the regulator and marker.
-
Verify that all ASA screws are firmly secured before applying air.
-
Air up the marker with the velocity adjustment still at its lowest setting.
-
Using a chronograph, slowly turn the velocity adjustment screw out counterclockwise to bring the marker up to the desired operating velocity.
-
Make small adjustments and recheck the velocity after each change.
Velocity Allen key sizes
-
Planet Eclipse CS3, CS3 Pro, and GTEK 180R:5/32-inch Allen key
-
DLX Luxe AIRE:1/8-inch Allen key
-
DYE DSR and MXR: Use the correct velocity adjustment key specified for your marker model.
Important: The velocity Allen key size varies by marker. Never force an incorrectly sized tool into the adjustment screw.
Quick installation guide
Step 1 — Turn the velocity screw all the way in
Before installing the spring, use the correct Allen key for your marker and gently turn the velocity adjustment screw all the way in clockwise to its lowest velocity setting. Do not overtighten.
Step 2 — Install the pre-set wave spring
Install the spring and completely reassemble the regulator. This version is pre-set and does not use shims. Verify that all ASA screws are firmly secured before applying air.
Step 3 — Air up and adjust slowly
Air up the marker and check its velocity using a chronograph. Slowly turn the velocity adjustment screw out counterclockwise to raise the velocity to the desired setting. Make small adjustments and recheck the velocity after each change.
Important warning
TURN THE VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT SCREW ALL THE WAY IN CLOCKWISE BEFORE INSTALLING THE WAVE SPRING.
After installation, air up the marker and slowly turn the velocity adjustment screw out counterclockwise to bring it to the desired velocity using a chronograph.
Planet Eclipse CS3, CS3 Pro, and GTEK 180R markers use a5/32-inch Allen key. The DLX Luxe AIRE uses a1/8-inch Allen key. DYE owners should use the correct velocity adjustment key specified for their marker model.
This wave spring is pre-set. Do not add shims.
Important: Firmly secure all ASA screws before airing up the marker.
