    What kind of fill station do I need?

    I just bought a 320 CI nitrogen tank today. I was wondering if you guys would know what kind of fill station I would need. The adapter on the tank looks different from the bulk CO2 tank I have. Links would be nice.

    Here are some pics of the adapter on the tank.
    Thanks a lot

      You will have to get one for compressed air. They are pricy though. I payed $400 for mine

        On the topic of bulk air tanks, what size is the best? I'm thinking about getting one and I want lots of fills outta it, but I can't afford an expensive one. Where can you buy these at? I looked at scuba websites but all the tanks looked relatively small.

          DIN adaptor?

          I think what he needs is a DIN adaptor like this one for 100$ Here But I'm not 100% sure will that work? I did a little research and there appears to be two different forms of DIN adaptors 200 DIN and 300 Din (300 being larger diameter). The site doesnt say which that one is and I don't know what size the tank is.

          Could someone help clarify? And one more thing there is a 20$ Here adaptor that looks like it would let you use a regular suba fill station after installed bringing the price to more like 70$ (20$ for adaptor plus about 50$ for scuba fill system).

            At my shop we have the same tanks, we got some brass fitting that screws into that valve and comes out to a yoke block, then a normal scuba fill station goes on the end of that. The fitting was like $30 and the scuba fill station was about $45

            Wish I had names for ya... the owner brought them in and said "here ya go!", lol

              Ah... posted right after Jet, lol

              Yeah, http://www.scubacompressor.com/merch...egory_Code=din is what I was talking about. I like that first one, looks like a cleaner setup.

                Alright. I think that 2nd option is what you are talking about then. It's 20$ for the adaptor and then that can be used to connect a Yoke or regular scuba fill station.

                Would just like to confirm this though thanks.

                  One more question for ya Rope A Dope. Well if you haven't guessed my now me and Epyon are teamates .

                  Anyways what PSI do your tanks fill to. I'm asking cause that adaptor theres is only safe up to 3000 PSI and I'm not yet sure if ours goes up to 4500 or if its just 3000 psi. Our tanks sound like they are fairly similar. Just not sure that the adaptor will be enough.

                    Yep a comon scuba yoke fill station goes right on that brass adaptor and works just like a scuba.

                    We have two tanks that are 3000psi, one is 3200psi but we use that adaptor on all tanks since the 3200psi tanks cools down to 3100psi or so and the rest are around 2900psi, we usually go volume fills on the big bulk tanks and top off at 3000psi on a few large scubas. It works pretty well.. until we have to get those huge tanks filled. Ugh.. what a pain, lol

                    We don't do enough HPA fills to justify a compressor.

                        i thought you need a pump for hpa? because you need to get the nitro in the tank up to 4500 or 3000 psi

                            HPA Hand Pump

                            Here is a hand pump for HPA.

                            Never seen one used but with a little elbow grease you'd never be out of air.

                              Haha. Man and I thought filling up a car tire with a bicycle pump was hard. That was only like 60psi. I can't imagine 3000PSI.
