Hi

Just brought the GX pump cs3 compressor, looks a nice bit of kit, the compressor has what I think is a foster fitting and my air rifles all have the fitting in the pic that then went into a dive bottle fitting, do I need some sort of male to male fitting , I had a look on best fittings and there are so many different ones on there I have no idea what I need.

Thanks

I think that you will find the fill probe on the end of your whip will unscrew. You can then screw in a Foster male plug which will just snap into the Foster female on the compressor.

Most of the Chinese pumps use m10x1 threads where most UK probes use 1/8bspp threads so the chances are his probes will not fit directly onto the hose on the compressor, what the O/P needs is a 6mm foster male, here is a link to the correct part.

Yes you are right my probes fit but not very well, so if I get this connector my probes you think will screw into it and the other end will fit the compressor.

Thanks
