countryman Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 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.

Fisheruk Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shop/quick-coupler-kits-and-parts/plugs/best-fittings-qc03-quick-coupler-plug/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryman Posted August 13 Author Report Share Posted August 13 Thanks everyone I shall order the above from best fittings and try not to cook this one 😂, £385 from Amazon this one and it does look to be well constructed and very compact.
