What kind of fill station do I need?

[stealth assassin]

Your larger Hpa tanks can be rented from a gases supply store. You will find them in the yellow pages dealing with welding supplies. To get 4500psi fills you need to either rent your tanks or own your own compressor. They run about $5000. This is the type of fill station you might consider. Do a search, there are better brands out there. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/one-stop...ifistcga3.html

Yeah I figured the 4500 PSI tanks are alot more expensive. Its either that or get a booster/compresser and thats usualy 2,000-5,000$ and thats money we don't have.

We made out pretty good with our 320 CI tank for 175$ 20$ fills and then about 80$ for all of the fill station stuff we need.

Appricate the info though.

Actually, That valve is a CGA fitting, probablya 580 or 680. It's not a SCUBA DIN fitting. If you look at the valve, on the side of the body it should say CGA###. (right on that red spot) You'll need to get the adapters to go from the CGA to something usable.

What is the working pressure of the cylinder? 3500, 3600, 4500, 6000?

If it's 3500 and you're careful you could build a CGA580 to Paintball Quick connect. If it's higher you should have a regulator so you don't accidently put 4500psi into a 3000psi cylinder.

Check out the valve and then let me know what the working pressure on the cylinder is and I can make you some recommendations.

CGA 580. Operating pressue is 3000psi I think for the tank.

Suggestions then since its not a DIN?

I tried PM'ing you but your inbox is full.....

Best route would be the HPA fillstation mentioned in the thread.

But you could go CGA580 Male to 1/4" Male NPT to a Female 1/4" NPT to Scuba yoke block and put a Scuba Fill station on it. That would probably only cost you about $30 to build. I'd probably add a 5' hose in there just for convience so add another $20.00 or so.

I was looking for a picture of the Scuba block online but don't see one. It's similar to the $21.00 you had in your post except instead of DIN threads it has Female 1/4" NPT .

I can build it for you if you're interested. I'd have to get actual prices tomorrow But I've built a couple special adapters for people before.

So, is that some sort of quick connect connecting to the paintball qiuck connect?

Once it's pressurized, how do you bleed it off? Theres no bleeder on it.

Where to get fill station

I recently bought two 4500 xpr bulk nitrogen tanks.

I am looking to make two fill stations, but I can't afford two 400 dollar regulators. I have scowered the internet but can't seem to come up with the parts I need. Any help would be appreciated. I will be filling 3000psi and 4500psi paintball air tanks.

still too much

300 bucks is still WAY too much.

I'm looking to get setup for less than 150 bucks for both of my bulk tanks. I don't need a reg.
