500CC Buddy Bottle Fittings

[jking]

I recently converted my Royale's 500cc tank into a take along buddy bottle to top off out in the field after I replaced it with a CF bottle. The valve that I put on it was from Best Fittings UK which had a push button pressure relief that released the air really hard and fast. I found the correct fitting and added my own inline bleed valve that I could control the the pressure relief in a much more controlled method. I also added a longer, smaller ID micro-bore hose to get away from the gun a little further. Just in case anyone is interested.

Jking, more info on the relief valve please. I have a bottle with the same press to release and I want to switch it. Appears to be the same as yours. Any dimensions of where you got the new fitting would be appreciated .

Thanks Nick

Nick, I got the adapter which is a 7/16"-20 X 1/4"fnpt from Granger, part #39A309. The inline bleeder is from Nurvair but you can probably find them else where. Funny how they combine a bolt thread with a pipe thread. The male end of the fitting has a O-ring seal that comes with it.
