If the threads on the bottle are M18 x 1.5, then I'd recommend this regulated fill valve - I have it on a spare 500cc bottle that I use to fill my 10M Air Arms Alpha pistol (no gauge also) and it works great! Great value, and nice and compact too.

Awesome thank you! Seems like when I look them up all I find is just a standard valve. I have one that I bought that I thought was a regulator, but it just has 2 gauges. One shows the bottle fill pressure, the other is the outlet line but it doesn't regulate. It works for filling, bit not for tethering.

This one does regulate. I have mine set to 2900 psi for the max fill of my pistol, and it never overfills it. It is now the only way I fill that pistol, as it has a tiny reservoir (~27cc) and it always took great control even with a slow fill valve on a Guppy tank to avoid over filling.

I will point out that since it is regulated, there is extra internal volume in it over a standard valve that is lost to venting, and on a small tank that could matter. I just use my Edgun Easy fill on it when I am doing lots of shooting, then I don't have to vent it to remove the line from the gun, and I get many more fills out of the small tank. But if you are leaving it hooked up tethering that would be no issue.

I use my 3L bottle to do Bench shooting and testing, and just fill it to my starting pressure for whichever gun I'm shooting.

The 48ci bottle will be for the gaugeless/smaller guns, which is what I typically bring when woods walking. My 2260 pcp gets about 12 good shots when cranked up. This would allow me to take that hunting and still be able to do some pest birds while out.

I do have a line with a gauge to use as a fill pressure reference, but the gauge isn't as accurate as I'd like it to be and I lose air each time I fill and vent the whip.
