Which 347 valve do you all recommend for a 30 min tank with standard CGA347 valve to fill up my PCP.
Thanks

I ordered a compressor to do myselfDepends on your primary refill source. Who will be refilling your tank, and what do they use?
So set it up according to your compressor. Which compressor? A low-flow such as the CS4, or a high-flo such as a Alkin W31, Carette II, or similar?I ordered a compressor to do myself

Most of the smaller compressors will do fine with a small bore hose and foster fittings. Here's what I put on my tank:

Is there something wrong with your current valve ? Is it rebuildable? If it’s a typical fire service valve it should be rebuildable but sourcing parts might be an issue and if you have to send it out for rebuild you’ll have a quote price to use as comparison to replacement cost of a different valve. I’m not a fan of chinese stuff as parts can be difficult to obtain.Which 347 valve do you all recommend for a 30 min tank with standard CGA347 valve to fill up my PCP.

No, I'm new to SCBA tank and the one I ordered from eBay has the original CGA347 valve.Is there something wrong with your current valve ? Is it rebuildable?

The Saber Tactical is a nice valve. The plus for it is that it has Foster fittings already so no need for CGA347 adapters to convert to Foster. Has some great features.
Brancato sells a TJ3 SLO-FLO valve that is a fine valve but is DIN300 so you would need an adapter similar to the CGA347 and an adapter to go to Foster or a hose.
Although my two SCBA’s are DIN300 I would love to change them to the Saber Tactical. They also have a nice integral carry handle.
Exactly! That, plus the smoothness of the ST valve is why I bought a bare tank from Brancato. His valves are ok (I DO like the dual gauges),. but to me the ST valve is the bees knees.Is there something wrong with your current valve ? Is it rebuildable?

Post up a pic of the valve on your new tank, particularly the thread portion. Or a link to the ebay ad from which you purchased it.No, I'm new to SCBA tank and the one I ordered from eBay has the original CGA347 valve.
I need to convert that valve so I can fill it up with my compressor so I need a new valve as far as I know. Like I said I don't know but I have an idea that I need to change the valve to use and fill
Unless your valve is leaking or damaged all you really need is an adapter to Foster or directly to a hose that would have a female Foster on the gun end.
Where did u buy the valve, filter, and double male?All you need is a CGA347 paintball fill station, a double male foster and a couple of filters for desiccant and filter material. This is my setup along with a GX CS4.

The double male will be used to connect the filter(s) to either the GX CS4 fill hose or to your CGA347 paintball fill station fill hose.
Yes, all this will work fine with the GX CS4 compressor.

So to fill tank I would just hook the hose end into the compressor to fill the tank with air?Air goes in the same place it goes out.
