Title: Scba set up help
Post by: redlined_b16a on March 16, 2019, 11:55:38 PM

I ordered a Scott 30 minute (45cf) bottle
What valve connections will I need to make a fill station.
Is this correct?

You would be all set if you bought that CGA-347 fill station from eBay (China).

I have a few SCBA tanks and I own that Chinese CGA-347 fill station, and a US made Stikman. The cheap one gets the job done when it comes to filling up your rifles. If I'm using my compressor to fill up my SCBA tanks, I'm going to use the higher quality Stikman because the fill station is subject to higher pressures at longer durations. I've had experience with the cheaper import stuff failing at high pressure when filling my tanks with a compressor, but I've never had a issue using the eBay fill station to fill a rifle up to 3500psi.

I have 3 of the hand tightened fill adapters, one for each SCBA tank.

Knowing what I know now, I would have gotten 3 wrench type fill adapters, attach it and leave it alone etc.
I have a problem with keeping the hand tight types tighten to the tanks,
as I have a grip problem with my hands, no grip strength etc.

I may get the wrench type to convert over, or I think I can take it off,
and mill a couple of wrench flats on the round hand wheel,
as I have one leaking now, every time I fill my bottles.

The only thing I wish, is they had a longer fill hose, around 36",
as I have to add a Ninja Micro hose, to have a better working room for my starling sniper platform etc.

Tia,
Don

OK ... great!  Since you get 15 years of service, then you have no problem until ... um 2018!
