Coltri MCH 6 Owners, get in here, this thread is for you!!
- Thread starter Harv24
- Start date
I ended up purchasing a Daystate T2 after discussing it with the team at Nuvair. They advised me to choose a 220V compressor, which makes sense since it has a shorter run time and requires less maintenance. The T2 fills up tanks more quickly, which is a huge time saver for me at home. I can still take my inexpensive Chinese compressors with me when I'm out in the woods.
I was at Fox Air Power recently, and they are offering 10% off during the 4th of July week. That promotion helped sell me on the purchase, so I hope to receive it pretty quickly!

What fill hose adapter or separate hose, do I need to fill my Tuxxing CF 6.8l fill tank with an ICON MCH 6?
re. Great white - The compressor comes with a male DIN300 fill hose adapter feature which will connect to my HP3 female DIN 300 valve on a Great White 9L. Compressor hose has the male DIN300 threaded bolt which threads into the female DIN300 valve on the GW. I’m good here.
However, I have an Ali Express dual gauge fill valve on the 6.8L with a foster male QD for compressor filling. It does not have a DIN300 female threaded port. So, I need a way to connect the ICON DIN300 male end of the supplied hose to a male foster QD on my 6.8L fill valve to fill it. Obviously, I need a female foster QD adapter to attach to the male foster on my 6.8L.
I cannot find any adapter on the Nuvair website, which has a female DIN300 threaded end ( which would connect to the compressor hose with the male DIN300) on one end and a female foster disconnect on the other end. I’m guessing they don’t make such an adapter.
Do I need a separate 2nd hose with different adapters to fill the 6.8L? I have two fill whips with female fosters on both ends of the hose, but I cannot see the connection on the Coltri compressor.
Please assist if you can.
Thanks

Thanks Brandan!
I ‘selectively’ get some HPA stuff from Ali, but with two U.S. Retailers ( AoA and AV) both having the correct DIN300 female to female Foster QC, I have what I need.
Thanks again guys for the quick turnaround.

You are quite welcome...I love my coltri compressor. I never worry about air when shooting. I have two tanks that I always keep topped off.

Going to order mine in August. Have the Electrician coming week of 8/11 to install a 230V, 60Hz 2-prong 30 A circuit in the garage. Q. How long is the power cord?
Don’t want to use any extension cords.

Just scheduled my 230V - 60 Hz single phase 2 prong 30 A circuit install using conduit ( which I Like ) for August 12th.
He asked me if anyone on AGN knows what the exact plug and receptacle configuration is for the ICON MCH-6. We looked everywhere and Coltri is Italian made, but we need to know which plug and receptacle is needed For the U.S. market.
I can ask Mitch also tomorrow, but if you have a visual also, that would be appreciated.
Thanks

That is odd. Not sure why a Coltri MCH6 230V spec‘d device would not include a plug for the U.S. Market. A power cord with no plug? Or, at least a recommendation.

Because they don't know what type of outlet design you have at your home.

My Alkin was the same, cord, no end. I used a 30a 220v twist-loc plug and receptacle for mine. I figured they don’t know what the end user has available, and it’s easier to buy a matching set that try to match what someone may or may not have.

Finally!!
Just got off the phone with Mitch Dexter, Sales for Nuvair. I placed an order today for a new ICON MCH-6 three horsepower electric compressor. 230V, single phase unit. Electrician installed my dedicated 240V single phase, 2 prong 30A circuit in my garage, right behind my work bench. It will handle the start up load and steady state req't for 17A easily as a 230V/30A install.
Price increase effective today. Good thing I got the quote 2 months ago, and Mitch did what he said. He told me he would honor until I was ready. My unit base price w/o some features I ordered was $2970, and price effective today was $3500. I did order an auto shut off switch set to 4700 PSI and lengthened the power cord from 6-8 feet. Got two adapters, one for each tank and associated fill valve. It comes with the standard 300 DIN male which works fine for the GW HP3 valve. The 6.8 L has a foster male for compressor filling, so I got the adapter needed for that as well.
Feel like a little kid. I picked up my two fill tanks ( GW 9L and Tuxing 6.8L) from the Carolina Dive Center today, filled to the usual 4500 PSI. Told the manager, I might not see him for a while. Feel bad in a way, I have been going there for about 8 years once every 2 or 3 weeks. They were great folks and almost always filled, and topped off after cooling to 4500 psi, while I had an hour lunch. They accomodated me so I would not have to drive back the next day. It's a very busy Dive Center and they have a lot of Scuba tanks to fill, so I appreciated the nice touch. Still, I'm getting over it as I type.
Hopefully, everything works as planned. Once I get the compressor, set it up and use it a couple of times, I will do a review.

P.S. I mentioned to Mitch and Craig, to consider getting a userid / PW access to AGN. There is great value for us and them in having them monitor this thread from time to time. Sent him a link today to get started. Great guy, very responsive and could not have been more helpful.
