How do I to fill from a Firefighter air bottle?

As another poster said, Joe has ’em (that’s where I bought mine):

Tim at Mac1 sells a similar but more compact unit. He drills and taps the vent valve block for the gauge and uses a smaller gauge. They are expensive since the bottle connector alone is over $75.

However, my fill rig came with a quite long heavy hose. A ‘whip’ indeed should the free end ever break free, IMO a serious hazard. You also have a ‘how to fill the tank’ issue you may not realize. My local shop doesn’t use ‘firehouse fittings’, they can only fill SCUBA Din 200 and 300 as well a paintball tanks using QD nipples. Initially I’d give them the fill rig and a male/male QD fitting. One time the male/male gizzie stayed at the shop…..

So I pulled and scrapped the long HP hose and put a male QD on the adapter. I then added a short (six inch) hose with two female QDs that I use to fill the various guns. When I get the tank filled, I keep this hose….less to get left behind.
