Steyr cylinder connectors/fittings

[ihasagun]

My scuba tank has a male fitting that allows the Steyr cylinders to be screwed directly into it, without need to use the adapter included with the LP10. Now I need to charge cylinders that have a foster fitting, so I’m trying to remember the name of that connector or fitting exhibited by my scuba tank so I can look for a suitable adapter. Do you know what it is called? Thanks.

You will probably find everything you want at:-

As a Steyr owner you might also want to look at their through drilled filling adaptor:-

Thanks, David, but what I need is the name of this type of male fitting.

Once I know what it is called, then I can look for a foster to “whatever this thing is called” adapter. Without knowing that keyword, how am I supposed to find what I need? Also, on the page you linked, the word “foster” does not appear. Is there a synonym for “foster” that I need to know? Thanks again.

For a standard Steyr pistol adaptor you want a 232 DIN valve.

Thank-you very much!

I think these two adapters might combine to give me what I need.

I’m not sure if the BSP is BSPP or BSPT, or if it matters. Can you tell from looking at them if these would work together?

Question- are you trying to connect the tank to a fitting on an air rifle/pistol that is not the Steyr?

If so, it is easier to use if you have a bleed valve. This-

with any of the hoses, plus this, connector (BSP)-

will allow you to connect to many rifles, etc.

Add the DIN connector-

and the BSP plug,

to also use this setup to connect to your Steyr adapter, anytime.

Thanks. And yes. I’m trying to charge a Thomas field target rifle with my scuba tank. The Thomas has a nondetachable cylinder with a foster port and no manometer. So I will need the hose to have an output manometer that reflects the pressure in the cylinder that is being charged so I can avoid over filling it.
