Newbie: Filling Talon tank from a 4350psi Luxfer DIN tank?
Hi All – this is my first post – I am anxiously awaiting my new Talon SS to be delivered next week. I am new to he world of PCP, but not to airgunning. I’ve got a regular 80 cu ft SCUBA tank and just purchased a Luxfer 106 cu ft. 4350psi tank with a DIN connection. I am one of those lucky guys that have a local SCUBA shop that can will it to capacity. But onto my dilemma
I’ve looked through the forums and seen pictures on various posts for the setup needed to fill the Talon Tank from one of these beasts, but, haven’t been able to pin down the exact parts. I am no engineer, and while I have looked at Woks primer, and done two hours of searching on the web, I can’t find exactly what I need… actually I DID find exaclty what I needed, but it was $150.
I imagine there are better (cheaper) alternatives to hooking a Talon tank to and HPA DIN tank, but would love any pointer anyone could provide.
Giddy like a kid at Christmas,
James

The K valve setup is not rated for the working pressure, but as we control fill via the tank valve and don’t fill over 3k, the K valve adapter is fine, as it will never see the full 4350 psi, only the pressure you fill your tank to. just go slow with your fills (which you should do anyway)
Thanks Cygnus – I already have the doohicky above – but I was under the impression that a DIN to K Valve wouldn’t work on a tank with pressures of 4350psi. If it does, then I’m in good shape as I can get a DIN to K-Vavle adapter locally.
airghog will sell a DIN fill kit, just tell them for what rifle, and what parts you allready have
you can also get a DIN to k-valve adaptor and then you can use the doohicky in the picture above
Thanks guys – I guess I’ll just have to bite the bullet! Thanks for your help! I have a feeling I’m going to be spending a lot of time on this forum!
Sorry,
Missed the Luxfer part.
Yep the connection is going to cost about $150 or so.
Try calling this guy and tell him what you need.

may save a few bucks. Other than that, HPA stuff is just plain expensive.
Hey Wok – thanks for the link. Unfortunately I what I need is a valve/connector for my new 4350psi tank (with a DIN connector). I read your posts and saw your setup. I guess I’m going to break down and buy one from Pomona Airguns or one from compressed air specialties unless you know of a better source?

That makes sense 🙂 I used to work at a scuba shop and those tanks would get warm if we went too fast… we always filled them standing the tank in water.
So I really just need to find a din to k adapter. That makes my life easier! I love this board!
