FX BOTTLE FILL SET

[SilentSquirrel]

Hello
I have an FX metal bottle with valve just taken off my Royale 500
I would like to use this bottle as an auxiliary air source for such task as my HUMA regulator tester, or for filling low volume guns when I don’t feel like pumping
The Question is
What do I use as a fill set/valve for this bottle?
Will one of those M 18 x 1.5 fill sets found on Amazon do the trick?
Thanks
Edward

I did the exact same thing with a 500 cc bottle off my Air Ranger. The Amazon 18 x 1.5 valve worked fine. That said, I ended up using that bottle mostly to fill an Air Arms Alpha 10M pistol with a tiny reservoir (~27 ccs), and controlling it with the small gauges was not easy. So I ended up buying a valve from Airgun Archery in Canada that is the same but has a regulater output on it. That one is perfect for my use . . .

Here is the Amazon one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09D7QC7K9/

Here is the regulated one: https://airgunarcheryfun.ca/adjusta...tation-with-two-gauges-and-50cm-hose-m18x1-5/

Thanks @AlanMcD
i will look at both those fill-sets
Just checking
Removal if the FX valve is required, correct?

Yes, that valve will have to come out to use either of those fill sets on the bottle . . . I don't know of any that would work with the valve installed, but that would be a great thing - the bottle could be filled and serve a dual purpose. I suppose one could make their own such "adaptor" with the right parts, but the end result would probably add two to three inches to the total height of the final valved bottle.

Thanks again @AlanMcD
Screwing it back into the Royale, emptying it, and then removing the valve seems to be my best bet
