MicroMeter Tank – Loose Valve Head
Howdy Gents,
I just received my inaugural order from Pyramid Air. Condor in .22, 24 inch barrel, pump, extra micrometer tank, scope and a spread of pellets.
Besides the fact that the AF pump they shipped me had no fill adapter, totally gimping my weekend plans, I noticed the valve head on the micrometer tank, which I believe is referred to as the “top hat” is very loose, and spinning freely. Upon noticing this, I looked at the Condor HiFlo and while not as loose, it definitely can be turned with little finger effort.
From some of the reading I’ve been doing, controlling the height of this top hat is crucial to tuning, which leads me to my question:
What the heck do I do now?

Yeah man. I have an SCBA tank ready to go, this is definitely a test of my i don’t know what.
I called them up on thursday, they promised to overnight me the part. So that I would get it friday, or worst case, today.
When I check the tracking number they provided this morning, I see that fedex hasn’t even touched the package yet, only received shipping information.
I’ve been waiting to talk to one of pyrymid air’s customer support reps for 58 minutes now. They’re open from 10-5 on saturdays, so I don’t know what the deal is there.
Oh well, can’t help what you can’t help.
still no fill, this must be agonizeing 😀
when i bought my condor , i didn’t have a pump or tank yet, so i went to a dive shop, and they filled up my gun tank for me a few times while i was looking for scba tank.
I actually rented a scuba tank after the second trip to the dive shop, so i wouldn’t have to drive to get the gun tank filled up, while my scba tank was being shipped.
That really sucks they did not send you the right part. I have been seeing a lot of disappointed people with air force lately. Their quality control seems to have gone out the window. 👿
Had to be.
They sent a friggin valve cover instead of a fill adapter.
ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH.
Another weekend lost.
Not that anyone should care, but AF themselves called up Pyramid Air in order to get this straightened out. They shipped the fill adapter right-quick.
Now I cross my fingers. If they sent the right part, it should be waiting for me upstate this weekend, laying beside my sleeping, innocent condor.
Bummer dude!
Phew! Thanks for the responses, tanks are empty, and now I know how to reset them if I ever need to.
I was under the impression that they were turning loosely on the stems’ threading, when in fact both the stem and valve are turning together.
I am having such an angst filled day; Brand new Condor, my first PCP, and no way to fill them tanks!
If the tank is empty, the top hat and valve stem will turn.

Stick a nickel under the top hat to size the gap and tighten the screws.

So I just got off the phone with Pyramyd Air.
They never shipped the package. They boxed it, printed the label, but it never made it out the door.
For the love of god, ladies and gentlemen, please try and keep your money away from pyramyd air. This is now the second weekend I drive 4 hours each way for a “great airgunning weekend” that doesn’t happen.
I honestly feel insulted, I paid a premium for expedited shipping on the first order, called them up, received the wrong part, and then they fail to ship the correct part outright.
The customer support rep was nice enough, but at this point an “I’m really sorry about that” makes me wish I had known about talon tunes before I went with these (from my perspective) incompetent and too big-to-care retailers.
