Help please: FWB cylinder adapter for hand pump hose

Post by homebrw »

Please help me. I want to make sure I order the right part. I have a Four Uncle's hand pump with a 1/4" ish hose on the end. The brass adapter the FWB P8X Pistol cylinder is ~3/4".

I really want to shoot my new gun!

Is it something I can source at a hardware store?

Thanks for any advice, or better yet links for this new shooter!

It's called a DIN adapter. Champions Choice has a well made one. You could call them (their website is down), and tell them you need the female DIN adapter for your FWB fill adapter.

There are other sellers-

Thanks @m1963.

A little pricey, but if that is it, that is it. But would this work?

No. That is the "quick disconnect- QD" part of the device. Your FWB fill adapter screws into the DIN adapter. The QD part connects the DIN adapter to your pump. I will attach a photo of one, with a FWB fill adapter connected.


In the photo the QD is on the left, the DIN adapter in the middle, and the FWB fill adapter on the right.

Ok. I'll call CC in the am. Thanks again for the advice and the photo.

Follow on question...I'm hoping to shoot this weekend. Do you think my local dive shop would have a DIN adapter?

Probably not. But, you could buy a used air tank and connect your FWB adapter to it, directly. Much more fun than a pump.

I took your advice @m1963! Went to a dive shop near me and got a filled, used tank for $175. I was likely going to have over $125 into the hand pump, so I think I did alright. Plus it's the easy button.

Thanks again for your guidance.
