Title: Bulk Fill from Scuba Tank Parts
Post by: USAF Vet on July 20, 2014, 07:02:51 PM

I have a 80 CU FT Aluminum, 3300 PSI scuba tank with universal K adapter on the way.
I just viewed a really good video by MustangMike about bulk filling from a scuba tank.
What will I need to duplicate his bulk fill adapter set up. (gauge, relief valve, etc)?
Thanks

One of these, plus a female quick connect :  https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-venturi-k-valve-pcp-scuba-charging-set?a=2848 (https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-venturi-k-valve-pcp-scuba-charging-set?a=2848)

Unless you know what parts, rated for proper hpa usage, this is easier and safer than cobbling all the parts yourself to save $30 in the end.

I have ordered the recommended Air Venturi scuba charging set and the foster disconnect.
When I assemble everything, what should I use to seal the connections? Yellow teflon tape, pipe dope, other?

I use standard teflon tape from Ace.

I got my fill block on eBay.  G7 fill block and whip for $24. Works great.

He's talking about SCBA, and you are talking about SCUBA. Am I right? How does this video apply? I thought the two were different beasts. One far more expensive than the other.
