Just purchased a MSA stealth 45 scba tank. Was hoping if someone could tell me what parts I need to get so I can use it to fill my pcp rifles. The tank threads are 7/8x14. Thanks

This would werq call him to get the fittings and hose you need and to be sure that is the valve you want.

If it’s a standard scba valve then the fitting is a cga 347. You can get a cga 347 fill station on Amazon. Their quality isn’t as high as Joe B’s but they will be cheaper.

Look for the Omega Patriot valve as it has a more effective bleeder valve that you don't have to keep tightening up.

Omega is pretty solid from my experience. Does AoA stock their valves or just the tanks? ExpertHPA has the highest quality

imo, do not get a valve with mini restricted orifice in it. It will cause longer tank fill times, more heat, and more stress on your small cheapie compressor.
If you don't have the capacity too throttle your valve correctly to not over fill your gun tank, then use a restricted orifice fitting in your tank to gun fill hose. So you can still fill the tank unrestricted. Mikuni carb jets will fit in many hoses/qc.
You can barely see the almost microscopic orifice in the valve on the left, much better off with the valve on the right with much larger orifice. You can put on any gauges you choose if correct valve doesn't come with gauges you like..

I would have to agree with you on it being best to have the orifice on the discharge side of the tank.
My great White tank does not have that tiny orifice and I have not noticed any slow fills to the tank. Still it has the slow fill option and fills my tanks and guns slowly. My little Yong Heng probly does not fill fast enough to be able to tell if it slows the fill though. Still it filled the tank for two years without complaint, and my new one does the same, so I see no problem with it.
