Contemplating Upgrading my SCBA Tank Valve. Suggestions?

[Ezana4CE]

I’ve got some SCBA tanks and I’d like to try a new valve where I have better control over the flow of fill pressure. So far I have only used Air Venturi Jubilee valves. I have a DIN300 fill set on my compressor, so getting an Omega HP3 would require that I hit base an addition fill set. Does anyone have any other options I should be looking at? I haven’t read a lot of favorable things about the Saber Tactical valves. The aftermarket valves I’m considering are:

Joe B’s TJ3 valve

TJ3 Dual Gauge Valve - TopGun-Airguns

The absolute best Dual gauge valve system for your airtank. With the TJ3 Dual Gauge system, you have the main glycerin filled gauge (2.5″on 7/8″ & M18 thread and 2″ on the 5/8″) that reads out clearly and accurately the air going into your gun’s airtank. The 1.7″ dial gauge shows the air...

I have a couple AirMarksman valves that are sold by Utah Airguns. I bought one used here on the forum and another new from UA when they had a promotion. I don't know if they are as governed as the Joe B valves or the HP3 , but with the large knobs , they are easy to modulate and get the flow that you are after . The downside , the main gauge is not very accurate . It reads about 30 bar higher than the ones that I trust .

I have two TJ3 valves that are no more than two years old. No issues modulating fills on my smaller Ranger (250b max) and Pro-X (200b max) tanks which require some degree of control to avoid overfilling. I would like to try an HP3 some day. The large valve knob looks like it could be effective to control flow.

Those DIN valves have always been a pia for me. Tried these once, and I put them on all the tanks. Best of all you can daisy chain all your tanks when tethered

@grackleblast Have you considered swapping out gauges on your Airmarksman valve?

Already have . I use these gauges and trust them .
