Need a special fitting for that air tank?
How about a hose with custom length or fitting? Do you want to fill your air
tank at a Paintball or SCUBA store? Scroll down and see what we have. If
you want something not shown, send an email and you'll be amazed at what we can
do for you.
Most anyone who has owned a SCUBA tank
will tell you that a SCUBA is already below its 3000 PSI max fill limit after
the first time your airgun (AG) and SCUBA are HEAVY. With each successive fill,
the SCUBA tank pressure is lower than the previous so you never completely
fill your AG to its capacity. I have 4500 PSI tanks
that will solve this problem. How? These are not SCUBA! With 44 Cu
Ft 4500 PSI SCBA tanks one can fill an airgun 34 times before these tanks finally reduce to
3000 PSI (where SCUBA START!). This is assuming an airgun with a 180cc tank (i.e. FX's
LARGEST air tube) filled to 3000 PSI and re-filled at 2000 PSI. AND THESE
TANKS
ONLY WEIGH 10 lbs empty. All complete tanks have valves that
continuously show the remaining pressure. No need to guess how many fills are
left, or worse, not knowing its below the PSI that you need.
By Popular Demand Micro-bore
Replacement
Hoses.
Everyone has been asking for micro-bore
hoses. Now we have hoses that have a
diameter of only .070" (1.78mm) and have a fantastic strain relief on each end.
Finally we have a product that is up to OUR standards. Call to
custom order your hose.

HOSE ASSEMBLIES for SCBA &
SCUBA
Below are pictures of the hose assemblies I provide for
use with my SCBA, or similar tanks. Note: These are made with 100% HPA (Hi
Pressure Air) rated
fittings, hoses, gauges, etc. I won't sell paintball items and repackage it as HPA as they can't handle the pressure and do regularly fail.
These hose assemblies are made with all stainless steel
fittings and bleeder. For ease of use, the large machined nut that screws
to the tank is a stainless steel hand-tight, not a wrench-tight. The stainless
steel bleeder has a large easy to use thumbwheel, which is significantly better
than tiny thumbwheels or pushbutton type for ease of use, dependability, etc.
The 2.5" gauge is glycerin filled, shows both PSI and BAR, is accurate, and very
easy to read. The hose is 0.070" (less than 2mm) inside diameter (the smallest
available) x 36" long and terminates in a "Foster" type quick disconnect.
It has less air volume wasted than a 3" x 1/4" diameter paintball hose.
Ours is the highest quality available (not questionable metal braided paintball
hoses that are only rated for CO2 pressures and fail). The hose is rated at
WORKING pressure of 630 BAR (Over 9,000 PSI!) with a failure rate of over 5:1!
(about 50,000 PSI). You don't want to go cheap when you are working with
4500 PSI!!! The hose teminates in a stainless steel quick fill (sometimes
referred to as a Foster type quick disconnect) for connection ease. (This
is not a CO2 pressure rated brass quick disconnect that can't handle the
pressure safely, but stainless steel). When purchased with a tank
you will receive a significant discount on the hose assembly.
SCBA
HOSE ASSEMBLY
Here is our 3 Foot Stainless Steel Hose Assembly with
0.070 inch ID micro-bore hose, strain relief at each end and Stainless
Steel "Foster" type quick fill on the end , Liquid Filled BAR/PSI Gauge, Highest
Quality Stainless Steel Bleeder and Stainless Steel Handtight Connector = $169 +
$14.50 shipped priority mail and insured. Rated to 6900 PSI
SCUBA HOSE ASSEMBLY DIN300 or Yoke
Same high quality hose rated at +6900 PSI, stainless steel disconnects, Glycerin Filled
Gauge as our SCBA Hose Assembly, etc., but made for use with SCUBA tanks with
either DIN300 (Rated +4500 PSI) or Yoke (Rated +4000 PSI).
Note: Most SCUBA Yoke are only rated to 3000 PSI. This is the heaviest
duty Yoke made. This one is rated 4000. Also available in DIN300, which is
rated +4500 PSI.
CASCADE
SETUP FOR 2 AIR TANKS Read near the bottom of the page
to learn about the air saving benefits of cascading 2 tanks. Two 44 Cu Ft
tanks can actually be better than one 88 Cu Ft tank when cascaded together with
this system. Read more about how (2) 44 Cu Ft tanks can outperform one 88 Cu Ft
tank
.
HELIUM AND NITROGEN HOSE ASSEMBLIES If you
wish to fill your air tank from a large Helium or Nitrogen tank, or if you wish
to directly fill your air gun directly from such a tank, we have custom hoses for that. These
also have Stainless Steel assemblies. Available with either micro-bore
hose, or our Rhino-tough hose for shop applications where hoses are subject to a
tougher environment.
Hose
Extension. Would you like to sometimes have a
longer hose? Available in 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 Ft lengths, with a male quick
disconnect on one end, and female on the other. Hose ID is only 0.070"
inch, so very little air is wasted. (1 Foot has less air than 1 inch of 1/4"
regular hose)
WARNING
We have seen paintball hoses (some have steel braiding) used on SCBA and
SCUBA tank hose assemblies. Those type of hoses are NOT rated for 4500 PSI.
Also, we have seen the brass "Foster" style female disconnects used in some
assemblies. They are not rated for 4500 PSI. Those type of hose and
fittings are designed for CO2 pressure and FREQUENTLY fail at these higher
pressure. Remember, tanks may have up to 4500 PSI in them.
Please don't use under-rated products for the sake of YOUR safety!!! (Bad
JuJu Mon!)
CUSTOM HOSES
Want to replace that kinked micro bore hose, or want a longer hose made to replace it, or an
extension with quick disconnect on both ends, etc.? We can supply them! Below are
examples of custom hose assemblies and special adapters that we can provide.
Also available as "micro-bore" lines.
5' hose with Hand Tight SCBA Fitting to 1/4" MPT
5' hose with 1/4" MPT to Quick Fill (Foster)
3' hose with DIN300 to Quick Fill (Foster)
AIR TANK FILL ADAPTERS If you
prefer to fill your tank at a SCUBA shop that doesn't have an SCBA
adapter, we have them. Or, if you want to fill it at a place that fills
paintball tanks, we have that adapter too (When used with our hose assembly).
Note: All adapters are described from left side to
right.

tank's hose to determine your remaining tank pressure). $19
2.5" Glycerin Filled
Stainless Steel Gauge with PSI & BAR readout with 1/4" NPT $26. (color for scale may
vary, i.e. Red, Blue, etc.)
Also available in 1/8" BSPP back or bottom mount (to
upgrade other tanks and hand pumps) $29
PROBE ADAPTERS
Most air guns come with some type of unique "probe" or "adapter" to
fill it with air. Each probe has one end that attaches to the tank and
another end that has a somewhat distinct thread. One end of the
adapter threads to the probe. The other end of the probe adapter has
a male quick disconnect that mates with the female quick disconnect on the hose
assembly. Basically these go in between the hose assembly and air tank probe. The
quick disconnect allows quick changing between multiple probes. Even if you only
own one air gun, it is the standard that allows your probe to connect to the air
hose to the probe and your probe to other peoples air tanks.
Here is how you connect different fill
probes to an using air hose with quick disconnect and your probe. Note how
the three probes on the left each have a male quick disconnect on the bottom (looks like a grease
fitting).

DON'T BUY MY TANKS!!!!!
1) Until you find a place that fills
to 4500 PSI. A tank is useless unless you can easily have it filled.
2) Just because a paintball shop
says they fill a 68 cu in tank to 4500 PSI doesn't mean they will fill these
large 88 Cu Ft (550 cu in), 66 Cu Ft or 44 Cu Ft tanks. (And no, if you do the math, 88 Cu Ft doe
not equal 550 Cu in). 88 Cu Ft is the volume of compressed air in the
tank, 550 cu in is the volume of water the tank would hold. Ask if the
paintball store if it will fill a
550 cu in tank.
3) Re-read number 1!
OK, so you decided you want a
tank. What do you need to start?
A) 44, 66, or 88 Cu Ft 4500 PSI
tank. (A 66 Cu Ft will fill an FX over 50 times before it gets to 3000PSI)
B) A place to fill your tank
C) Hose Assembly (I have these in
stock)
D) A Quick Disconnect that fits
to the bottom of your fill probe as shown above (I have these if necessary).

TESTIMONIALS
I just wanted to let you know that the MicroBore
hose I recently obtained from you works perfectly, hooked up easily and the 3'
length is so much more convenient that my original short, very stiff hose.
Kudos on a great product and your fast service! Gerry C.
Just a note to say how pleased I am with the NOS
66Cf tank and hose assembly I got from you last fall. Everything was just as you
said it would be. I was really impressed with the packaging to protect the tank
from transit damage. Now that you offer microbore hoses, it's really a smokin'
deal. I recommend you to anyone I hear of needing a tank. RicG
I've purchased a complete SCBA charging assembly
as well as various adapters and fittings from Joe Brancato. His prices are
competitive and his products are of the highest quality and easiest to use
available. I like having the hand tight fittings because I don't have to carry
wrenches around. You know you're in the safe-zone when he sets you up. Above
all, Joe has gone out of his way to assist me in hydrostatic of my own personal
cylinder. You couldn't ask for a better guy than that!" Brandon R.
Cascading
When a 44, 66 or 88 Cu Ft tank reaches
around 3000 PSI, it's time to think about refilling it. This is air you
can't "use" until you refill to a higher pressure. If you have two 44
Cu Ft tanks you can actually use them to more advantage than one 88 Cu Ft tank
by a technique called "cascading". If you simply used one 44 tank down to
3000 PSI , and then the second to 3000 PSI, there wouldn't be an advantage over
an 88. What you do to get the cascade advantage is use tank #1 until it
can no longer completely fill your tank to the pressure you desire (i.e. maybe
it can only fill it to 2800 PSI, but you want 3000 PSI). Now use tank 2 to just
top off the airgun (that way minimal air is used from tank #2, which becomes the
higher pressure tank).
So, when tank #1 is below 3000 PSI (or
whatever is your max fill pressure), use it to bulk fill your rifle from 1600,
1800, or 2000 PSI (or whatever pressure you start to refill your
airgun) all the way up to whatever pressure remains in tank 1. Then only
use tank 2 to "top it off" to your correct fill pressure. For each fill,
use tank #1 to get as much air in it before you switch to tank two.
Eventually you'll get to the point that tank #1 is so low and you'll just use
tank #2. But you've drained tank #1 WAY lower than you could if it were part of
a single 88 Cu Ft tank.
By the way, notice our hose assemblies
have a Stainless Steel HANDTIGHT fitting. This makes it easy to
switch between tanks without tools.
