yeet Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 There are lots of different types of valves for scuba tanks and the price of having a scuba tank serviced is based on the type of valve. I have been browsing eBay and other websites looking for scuba tanks to fill my PCP air rifle, lots of the tanks have valves that are needed for diving and therefore cost more to get serviced compared to non-diving style valves. I know you can change the valves but how do I find a 'Surface' valve, so I don't have to pay more to get it serviced. What are the 'surface' valves( that aren't used for diving) called. Sorry if the question is uninformed I'm a bit of a newbie. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 A surface valve, to put it simply, has a contents guage built in. You do need to get it professionally fitted (bear in mind that it'll be running in excess of 6000psi), so by far the easiest (and safest !)thing is to get in touch with your local dive shop / cylinder service centre, and get them to supply and fit.

bruno22rf Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Just buy a complete tank/whip/gauge specifically for Airgun charging - plenty around at keen prices or look around for used ones for sale - only thing you will need to fit is your specific adapter - simples.
