Benelli Kite Fill Adapter For Hill Pump

What adapter do I need to so I can fill the cylinder of a Benelli Kite from a Hill pump with a female foster quick-disconnect fitting at the terminus? What I gather from Larry's is the adapter in the Benelli kit screws onto the cylinder and the other end is a threaded male DIN connector.

This is an adapter I believe will allow me to use my Hill Pump. It is called "Fits FWB, Walther Dominator, older HW100 rifles & many other 10m guns" and is sold by an online airgun retailer. The description states Female DIN adapter to Foster quick-disconnect.

Thanks to anyone who can confirm the adapter pictured above is what I would need or for recommendations of another adapter I should consider.

I got my Hill pump with a DIN adapter that I hard mounted on the pump (no hose). I just screw the pistol's adapter & cylinder into the DIN fitting & start pumping. I've used this with Steyrs, Morinis & Kites.

Look for "Din 200 female adapter for Hill pumps" about 1/4 of the way down this page: http://www.pilkguns.com/masprlist.htm#hill. It's the big knurled brass fitting.

The advantage of skipping the hose is that it eliminates wasted volume you just have to pressurize.

Thanks for your reply. I use the Hill pump for other airguns and prefer to keep the foster connector and hose. You mentioned DIN 200 and I've seen references to DIN 300. I must do some more research on the differences.

The 200 is the lower pressure version (200 BAR). If you get a 300 BAR fitting, many air gun fill adapters won't seal in the fitting so you can't over pressure the cylinders.
