Dannyboy220 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Evening chaps, I've just got a regulator for my new tank and they don't go together. What am I missing please? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike737 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 If I remember from my SCUBA days, you need a regulator fitting that has a 'stirrup' to pass behind the part of the valve with O-ring, and clamps up tight. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) hi mate,,you need what is called an A CLAMP, this will connect to the top of your bottle and the attachment with the hose on it then screws into it, you can get one for around £15-20 off the famous auction site or from a dive centre hope this helps click on the picture Edited February 19, 2015 by evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Not 100% but it looks like a din fitting on the cylinder, so you would need a A Clamp to connect ?

Not sure from the OPs 2nd pic if he has something on the end of the whip. if not, its allen key and undo the centre of the valve.......then you can use this: http://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=236&cat=DIN+Charging+Kits+%2D+200%2F300+BAR or not bother removing the centres and use this: http://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=143&cat=%27A%27+Clamp+%28K+Valve%29+Charging+Kits+%2D+200%2F232+BAR+ In both cases, you will need a hose (whip) Looks from your pic that you have one. If you need adapters, best fittings again. It looks like a dive cylinder and not an airgun cylinder, so chances are its a 232 bar fill. You won't get a huge amount of fills/top ups before the air is equalised to that of your rifle though unfortunately.

silver pigeon69 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 All you need to do is get an allen key that will fit in the valve of the cylinder (inside black "o" ring,picture one) and unscrew the insert from the valve. This will leave a DIN fit valve which your regulator will screw into. Not quite so easy Bob as you need to release the pressure in the fill hose don't you. Not sure from the OPs 2nd pic if he has something on the end of the whip. Pressure release thumb screw under gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look on best fittings website The regulator is a DIN fitting. The cylinder, as shown, needs an "A" Clamp, unless the insert is removed.
