About this item

  • Replacement ball latches (also called detents or keepers) for many Tippmann markers (Part # FA-18, FA18, TA45010 or 72211)
  • Flexible, Durable rubber makes for a longer lasting ball latch.
  • Prevents balls from rolling out of the marker's barrel.
  • Fits Tippmann 98 Custom, Model 98, Custom Pro, A5, X7, and more (see below).
  • Manufactured and Warrantied by Captain O-Ring LLC. Proudly assembled in the USA!


The ball latch is a part of the Tippmann marker that prevents paintballs from rolling out of the barrel before being fired. If you are having an issue where balls are rolling out of your barrel when you aim the marker downward, it means that you need to replace your ball latch. Ball latches eventually wear down or break off and need to be replaced.

Tippmann Part Number FA-18 (also called TA45010 or 72211)

Tippmann 98 standard replacement part. Works like a champ to keep the balls from rolling out and double feeds.

Purchased the 6 pack for back up use, I own a Phenom X7 and a TMC Tippmann. The latch fits perfectly in the Phenom platform as shown in the last two images (5-6). The TMC blank adapter did not unfortunately (view image 1 for comparison of new latch and OEM one). HOWEVER, after a little bit of trimming to the front portion of the latch (image 2), the latch fit in the metal holder just enough for function (image 3). I used a sharp pocket knife to cut the slight portion off but a exacto knife will do the trick as well. Tested the modified latch at the field with high quality paint and not a single chopped or double feed in the chamber. I’m also not running a anti chop bolt as well. If you are double feeding or chopping balls constantly/every now and then, inspect your latch and it may be time to replace it. Thanks for the amazing product!

100% perfect fit. I purchased some generic ones on eBay from China. Those were too big, kinda swollen looking, and weren’t cut precise. These are much better, super nice edges and perfect fitment. They are molded alot better quality then other generic ones
