First I would like to say I have searched your gate here for answers before posting. I am posting this thread to maybe help others in the future instead of calling you direct and keeping the info to myself.
I just received my new Bulk fill adapter for my Sheridan Model F.

I do not have the vintage Crosman bulk fill set-up. I have the modern Co2 system with Foster fittings. When I ordered the Bulk Fill Adapter I had read I could use one of your Foster fittings as the adapter had the same 1/8" npt threads.

When I placed my order over the phone you and I discussed what I was wanting to do and today I received my beautiful adapter and a Ninja check valved foster fitting. :D
Now I have a question on fitting the foster to the end of the adapter. It it as simple as taking off the slotted plug and screwing in the fitting?
Underneath the end plug is a white seal with a tiny hole, to seal the old style Crosman fill tank that screwed in.
Do I need to remove that or anything else from the adapter?
And since the adapter has it's own internal check valve, do I leave out the check pin and seal that came with the Male Foster? I appears it would bottom out on that white seal and not be able to open.
Thanks for you help and great products.

It should work to just screw the male into the adapter. If it doesn't reach the seal in the adapter and fails to hold you could add a small oring to the connection to make it seal up. The Check valve stem is not required as it would have two check valves in series. That is not the way to do it. It doesn't need to have the seal removed from the adapter and it is difficult to accomplish.
