Tank top off
Question I’ve got a scuba tank with an air force adapter to fill my Talon tanks, now I’m thinking that perhaps this adapter could be hooked up to a shoebox and top off the scuba. Any comments? This would save about $150.00 and wear and tear on the scuba k valve.’
Thanks Gary

The shoebox is available in a 3000 psi config] as to the wear on the k valve I wouldn’t have to keep removing the air force adapter and install a special scuba adapter. niether of which has a popoff plug
I’m not following you when you say it would save on your scuba K valve.
You have to use a valve on your tank to keep the air in the tank, no matter how you fill it.
Using the Shosebox compressor to fill a scuba tank would require some kind of pop/blow off valve to keep from over pressurizing your tank. Scuba tanks are only good to about 3000 psi., while the Shosebox puts out some where around 4500 psi.
P.S. I think you can get something from Tom (the shosebox guy) to shut off the compressor for filling scuba tank, I might be worng.

You got it.
I just plug my fill line into my compressor using the quick connects. I hardly never take the adapter off. My compressor only puts out 3200 psi, so I don’t have to worry about over pressuring. It does put more wear of the female QC, but they are cheap.
