After a year of so with my urban and a handpump I've decided to upgrade and bought a vevor compressor and a used air tank. Just got the tank today and trying to figure out what else I need to make things function. It seems to be missing the regulator knob/bleeder valve? I'm not sure what it's called or what to look for online so I can't search for whatever it is I'm missing.
I have one of these in the mail on its way:
https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-venturi-foster-quick-detach-hose-assembly?a=4955 (https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-venturi-foster-quick-detach-hose-assembly?a=4955)
and of course I have the fill probe and adapter connected to my hand pump.
Definitely correct me if I'm wrong, to use my compressor and tank and rifle:
1. I connect the compressor's quick connect foster fitting to the tank's foster and fill up the air tank. Then disconnect the compressor hose.
2. I connect the air venturi quick connect hose to the tank and the other end of the hose will have the fill probe on it.
3. I then use whatever the missing piece I still need to fill my rifle
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

You will need something like this https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-venturi-pcp-fill-station-fits-90-cu-in-carbon-fiber-tank?a=5055 (https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-venturi-pcp-fill-station-fits-90-cu-in-carbon-fiber-tank?a=5055)
Joe B has one listed on his site. It says it's for CO2, but I bet if you call him it would be safe for HPA. http://airtanksforsale.com/ (http://airtanksforsale.com/)

Thanks for the reply, I will contact him. If that is indeed what I need will I have any use for the extra quick connect hose I ordered? I would just put the rifles fill probe onto the end of that fill station hose, right?

I don't think you would need the other hose with either of those setups.

Does your air tank have a Ninja regulator on it? It looks like it to me, but I'd like to know for sure. I believe that air tanks with Ninja regulators require the Ninja Fill Station to work correctly because they use a extra tall valve pin (used for safety to help prevent accidental use in paintball guns). I don't know for sure if the Air Venturi fill station is compatible with the Ninja reg.
Here are a few places you can buy the Ninja fill station:

You won't have a use for the Air Venturi Quick Detach Hose Assembly that you already purchased. The only thing you could potentially use that hose for is to lengthen the fill station hose so that you have more length to go from tank to rifle, but I don't recommend this since you would need to buy a male-male quick disconnect adaptor and you'll be wasting more air which creates a noticable difference on a small tank like you have. Return it if you can.

Hollow point,
Thanks for the help. I sent an email to an online place selling the ninja fill station and they confirmed after looking at the pictures I sent them. I bought the air Venturi hose from pyramid so it’ll hopefully be easy to return.

Call Joe Brancato, (the airgun scientist)and he’ll tell you exactly what you need. Not the cheapest but definitely sells only quality stuff. I think I spent about $185 on the fill station but it’ll probably last me the rest of my shooting days. Nice clear gauge, easy to read easy to be precise.
-
One thing that I regret about mine is I put the bigger braided hose on it instead of the microbore hose. The micro bore saves on air that just gets bled off when disconnecting from the tank or air rifle.
I did recently put on a nice big accurate gauge though.

This setup cost me about $80 to put together, the gauge I just put on it was $20 but still it's good on an SCBA. If I had the tank like you got I probably still would have put my own together.

Andys (Hollowpoint1911) suggested Ninja fill station is what I use on my HPA bottle.

While my Regulator is not a Ninja brand it still uses the longer "Ninja style" pin valve. I got a 1600 psi Reg from Joe B. from his www.experthpa.com (http://www.experthpa.com) website. He has a great selection of fittings and accessories there and I find it easier to navigate than his Airtanksforsale.com website.
