Just bought a used Scott tank. Looking for any suggestions for fill valve. New to all this .. any help.?
Thanks I keep trying reminding myself of the pressure I’m working with.!I’ve had both. The Amazon one will get the job done, usually. I really like the Stikman, and it sees a lot of use. The stikman is pretty spendy for what it is, but it was worth it to me. Also, I have called and talked with the owners of the company, who were easy to get in touch with, and answered my questions. That itself is worth something to me, and I remind myself that this is 4500 psi and this hose is clearly marked by the manufacturer as to working and burst pressures. High quality fittings as well.
Did your tank come with a CGA347 valve? If not, try the Saber Tactical valve. Very nice, threads directly into the tank. https://sabertacticalinc.com/products/tank-valve-st0031Just bought a used Scott tank. Looking for any suggestions for fill valve. New to all this .. any help.?
How does a stikman work with a plain tank with no valve?Just get a stikman
I was going to get a cheap flea bay or ama jama zon cheapie
Spend a little bit
It’s worth it
It wouldn’t, it connects to a CGA347 valve to allow for filling. The Saber Tactical valve obviously replaces the standard valve. The ST valves are nice, but you will also need a female to female fill hose, as none is included with the ST valve. The standard Scott valves are very high quality, and they have a very long history of service. The Stikman can also be used on multiple bottles. I also have the ST valves on 2 bottles, they are both great products.How does a stikman work with a plain tank with no valve?
Nice looking valve. But if I installed this valve, can a shop still fill it.?Did your tank come with a CGA347 valve? If not, try the Saber Tactical valve. Very nice, threads directly into the tank. https://sabertacticalinc.com/products/tank-valve-st0031
Depends on what they have for filling. My local paintball shop fills thru the foster fitting, no problemo.Nice looking valve. But if I installed this valve, can a shop still fill it.?
That's why I asked, because he didn't specify if his used tank had a valve already or not. If it already came with one, the ST doesn't make sense for him.It wouldn’t, it connects to a CGA347 valve to allow for filling. The Saber Tactical valve obviously replaces the standard valve.

No, not snarky at all buddy. People often seek advice here without giving full context to what they have/need. And all advice typically leads to success for those willing to listen. (But yes, often the written word comes across harsher than. meant. That's the sucky part of no intonation nor facial expressions.)Roger that, didn’t mean to sound snarky, but still managed to.
On Scott valves, and maybe others, you don’t even have to remove the spring. You can just tighten the nut holding the knob on, and it will compress the spring and defeat the spring-lock.I bought an expired Scott tank a couple years ago. I then got a "cheapie" fill set off Amazon. I had a big leak and emailed the seller of the tank. He replied quickly and offered another tank but said he was sure it was my fill set. He recommended one from Joe Brancatto that he uses. I bought it, it was a little more than the Stickman but also high quality, and have not regretted it one little bit. The gauge is more accurate than the ones on my guns.
My firemans tank came with what I think is a normal valve for them and works fine. But I removed the spring so you don't have to push on it to rotate it. Five minute "fix". It is easy to modulate the flow with the valve when you get the gun close to full. No need for a high dollar valve.
Very true, that’s what I didOn Scott valves, and maybe others, you don’t even have to remove the spring. You can just tighten the nut holding the knob on, and it will compress the spring and defeat the spring-lock.
