Boy, I have been on a journey. I have had my new acecare tank for a couple weeks and it's great by the way. Solid unit. My problem is getting a reliable fill station going. Of course I tried to save money and have gone through two now. One the gauges would not movec on incoming air and the other gauge outgoing air flow. The second one arrived yesterday and the black knob will not turn to open or close.
They will be returned. I have my original Joe B station that worked on my first scba 11 plus years ago but it has a female connection I'm wondering if there is a connector to match it and my tank. Photos next

Did you ask Joe B? I got my fill set for my SCBA tank from him and it works great. I tried an inexpensive "made in China" fill set first but it leaked badly. I did a post and others had bad experience with the inexpensive ones too but some have been able to make them work. I decided one failure was enough and paid more than double for a good fill set.

But since you already have that, I wonder if you cannot get the fitting you need from Joe B. too.

When I want to know what fastener I need I often use a thread pitch gauge from my tap and die set. It looks like a feeler gauge set. It makes it quick and easy to figure out both male and female thread pitch. It should tell you the thread pitch on the tank and a caliper should give you the diameter.
