Need help with scuba attachments

Post by itetcboo »

I recently got a scuba tank with what I believe is called a K valve. This is what it came with.

This is what fills my Anschutz 2002CA. I unscrew the tank on the rifle and screw it into this set up.

What I would like to do is use what I have to primarily fill my Daystate which uses a foster connection. Yet still fill my Anschutz.

I was thinking about maybe getting a whole new fill whip with a foster female and screw that onto what I have just past the gauge. The only problem is I am really confused as far as what threads everything has. Then if I could get said fill whip with the foster female would this adapter work to fill my Anschutz http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Air_Ventu ... ifles/2336

I think it might but then I noticed one of the reviewers said that he wished it had more threads so it would work with his Anschutz. I was just going to get a entire new foster K valve fill setup from PA but they are like $85+ and the quality looks hit and miss to me and I want something of decent safe quality preferably without spending a fortune.

I am also thinking about replacing the gauge as well but it looks like it is a standard 1/4" NPT gauge so that should be pretty straight forward.

Anyways I could use any help anyone could give as I have been reading up on stuff a lot and am totally confused.

It looks like you could unscrew the brass colored adapter from the chrome K valve and then screw the whip in. Then you could use the adapter you show from Pyramid to adapt from the female foster to your Anschutz. Not sure why the reviewer felt the adapter needed more threads. Since it is female, the adapter should work with both 200 BAR and 300 BAR male adapters. Making it longer would only potentially prevent the shorter 200 BAR male adapters from sealing against the bottom.
