No valve, any recommendation from you guys/ gals which valve to get?
Thanks in advance! 😎

Nitroxda, sounds like you know what you’re doing alright.
I must have missed your intro so a belated :tag:
I, on the otherhand now have just two PCPs, only had my AF tank apart twice to fix one problem 😆
Not being familiar with your knowledge I was very concerned.
Thank you for the understanding reply ❗
I’d better go find some meds to take so synapses won’t have to worry about me.
We have a great group here and really do get along well.
……actually I do have an Airhog set up, and have the small black Benjamin 17 cu ft tank on order in the mail. Then I found this tank cheap, so I just grabbed it.
Lurker, I have a few PCPs, they are :
– 1 AF Condor cal 25, modded up to 105FPE (waiting for Doug valve)
– 3 Benjamin Mrod, each caliber.. (.25 modded to 80FPE)
– 1 Benjamin Disco / .177 (100%stock + TKO Silencer)
– 1 HW 100S / .177
– 1 S410 FAC / .177
– 1 Evanix K450 Hunting mAster / .22 / 60FPE
– 1 Evanix Bulpup Max / .177
– 1 SamYang Recluse / .357 / 175FPE
See.. I’m as addicted as you guys are! 😆
I think I have some idea of the potential danger a 4500psi tank is holding.
Our topic here is I want to know what choices of valve do we have in the market for the tank I bought… it is not DIY, just screw on and fill.. I am not making anything on my own.
I know you meant well, don’t worry…. I would be dead by now if I’m that stupid…
So I guess not much of a choice for the valve…
Cheers! 😎
synapses,
would you suggest that someone that comes across a cheap price on a 4500 PSI tank and doesn’t know what valve to get for it, to DIY ❓ ❓ ❓
I at least am giving suggestions on the side of caution .
I haven’t questioned your knowledge of what danger working with 4500 PSI presents, until now ❗
please set me straight as to your expertise ❓
I know so little, that I have what I consider a healthy respect for potential hazards.
Lurker, did you forget to take your meds or something? 😯
Avon ISI is a huge and reputable tank supplier.
You may want to consider that some stuff folks say is to get you to buy more stuff from them… 😉
Check my ebay link, the tank I got is new…unused.
I do know fire houses purchas tanks without valves for cheaper and use the valves from the old tanks so they sell the valveless tanks for cheaper.
nitro,
Joe Brancato airtanksforsale.com sells quality stuff and you need to heed warnings given by him and others.
Learn to use the search engine with all capital ” AND ” between descriptive words.
We’ve been getting a few posts that want to introduce cheap chinese knockoffs lately that waste a lot of time. makes me wonder if they are getting paid for links from TT to patent thieving cheap knockoff sites.
when you are first getting into any PCP product, BE CAREFUL ❗ THIS STUFF CAN BE DANGEROUS. BUY QUALITY and don’t abuse it ❗
Charlie, no… No need for a initial compressor, just the unit.
Lurker, what warning of cheap tanks? Mind sharing it?
A 4500 PSI tank without a valve ❓
Gotta wonder why no valve ❓
Maybe factory seconds ❓
What was that warning we heard a year or two ago about tanks ❓
Let’s sort this out…
Cheep tank with no valve…
Get your own valve and put it together yourself…
And wish you and 4500 PSI good luck…
Sounds like a formula for DIS ASS TOR
Thanks for sharing. I cannot see any other option for 4500 psi air compressor less than $1000 here except shoebox and hand pump we can do at home.
Does it need another regular compressor to help to pump air in?
…and it got the small electric aquarium pump that circulate water from the bucket that serve as cooling agent, like a radiator….rather weird, but hey.. it works! 🙄
I dont need a other compressor like the shoebox, and I think this setup can last longer… 😎
here it is:
It is about $1000, only problem I see is it doesnt have a proper airdryer, so I only pump indoor with air conditioning on, and I drain the moisture off every 100bar or so
I have an airtex 45 . Best investment for a serious shooter especially if u got bigbores. Got mine for 3400 shipped to my work complete with fill hose and adapter.
Can you share where you bought the compressor? for how much?

“synapses”?
Sure TURDER #1… 🙄
Never claimed any “expertise” I simply read what he posted.
You on the other hand went off on some bat shit tangent about cheap HPA stuff without reading his posts or following the link he provided…
I never suggested he not be cautious as you imply.
Never once said anyone should buy cheap HPA stuff or do it themselves.
Are you ok dude…? 😕
So was what you stated even necessary given the link he provided?
Probably not…
Why would you question my HPA safety based on me pointing out the FACT that his tank was made well. Since I did my research into what he owned wouldn’t that mean i’m more cautious than you?
Caution is good, reading the WHOLE post is even better. 😉
