SCBA fitting/coupling?

[nomojo65]

I have access to 6 scba 4500psi tanks but need a coupling to enable me to use these for filling my airguns if possible? I do not want to replace valve because they are already filled and will be destroyed at end of yr.

More formation needed, are you just looking for a COUPLER to connect to an existing fill whip or can I assume you need a filling assembly.

Here's my set up,

SCBA HOSE ASSEMBLY

This set up can be found on Joe Brancato's site: Air Tanks For Sale.

Edit: As for Safety Measures:

If you decide to make up your own set up just beware your filling from a 4500 psi vessel and all parts used should be of the same psi rating or greater.

Edit was not directed to you personally but to anyone new to this sport/hobby

Cheers

Thanks, yes just the coupler? I did see the set-up you have from JB just didn’t know if I wanted to spend that much for just 6 tanks? Might have to though?

SEE BELOW EBAY POST THATS SUPER CHEAP!

JUST FORGET ALL WHAT I POSTED!

I Called these guys to ask if theirs thread into yours. Yup but doesn't have a gauge not a big deal your gun manometer works?

One-way Paintball Quick-connect to CGA-347 SCBA Adapter with Bleed Valve
$79.95

With this one above you solely rely on your gun gauge or manometer when to stop filling. You need a Double Female Foster adaptor or a hose with Female Foster quick disconnects on both ends.

This is the complete set up. Either way above cheaper one or this is swappable amongst all 6 of your tanks just unscrew them then use for next tank and so on.

Best is the cascade feature that you may find very useful.

Watch the video.

I have purchased 1 like unit with gauge from China and 2 from USA but I would bet they are from China to. 1 Alibaba and 2 Ebay all you need is a male to male Forster to fill at a dive shop or paintball shop or from your compressor. The gauges work fine and you back fill thru the fill system with the male to male. Cost is Like $30 each. I did pick up a better female foster from Donny because it's longer and EZer to use on some guns. When I got a new SCBA I did splurge on a better fill setup and it is smoother but does the same job.

This is the cheapest I could find on a fast search.

OH DAMN THATS CHEAP!!!

Ebay, you must have a CGA 347 fitting NOT a CGA346! No changing valve on tank. Make sure you measure the o-ring on end of stem (orange one on Chinese adapters) & order replacements, (Mcmaster-Carr). No need to pay more than $50 for an adapter. My cheapies have lasted 5 years with occasional replacement of o-rings.

I bought mine from AGN member jking who makes them up and sells them from time to time and lists them on AGN's classified. He uses quality components and has a more reasonable price when compared to some of the businesses listed in the previous posts. You could PM him to inquire if he has any available. You can also put a WTB (want to buy) add in the classified and maybe somebody will have one to see - just be careful if you get an offer, check to see if the seller is an active member here and also check their name against the scammer list that is a sticky in the classified section. Remember if you purchase a quality fill station and only use it for 6 months, you can always recoup much of your cost by selling it here in the classified - the ones I see advertised seem to go fast.
