Does anyone have/use one of the Best Fittings Steyr LP fill adapters? The description states that they are now “drilled through “ to allow for conventional bleeding of the charging system without the need to partly unscrew the reservoir whilst still under pressure.

I always get a little nervous while doing this, seems like a better idea.

Re: Filling Steyr AP Cylinders ?
Yes. We use the BEST fittings adapters for both Steyr and Walther air guns. They work fine.
Re: Filling Steyr AP Cylinders ?
Just to be clear, you can bleed the line pressure first and then unscrew the cylinder under no pressure?
Is your setup similar to mine? I have the Steyr supplied fill probe.
Re: Filling Steyr AP Cylinders ?
The cylinder unscrews, unpressurized, due to the design of the adapter. Less loss of air.
In re setup...No, we also use a pressure release valve in-line.

All this is rather over complicated when you can screw the Steyr Adaptor directly into the DIN thread of the SCUBA tank.
It's worked for me for the last 30ish years!

Re: Filling Steyr AP Cylinders ?
We have many different shooters using many different fill adapters. Some have QD adapters, as well. It is quite different for one shooter, using one brand of airgun, for certain.
Re: Filling Steyr AP Cylinders ?
Not everyone fills from a bottle or tank. I use one of the cheap Chinese compressors straight to the air cylinder. No trip to the dive shop!
Re: Filling Steyr AP Cylinders ?
If you can bleed the hose of that compressor there's no reason why you shouldn't use one of the BF adaptors with a foster connection, like so:
Re: Filling Steyr AP Cylinders ?
What is the name of the part that connects to the Styer fill? Does Best Fittiings carry it?
Thanks.
Re: Filling Steyr AP Cylinders ?
