Scuba Tank Parts Question

[d3vnull]

Apologies in advance for my ignorance.

I own an 80cf scuba tank. I also have a Ninja fill station and whip hose similar to the link below. These are the only three parts I own.

Ninja Fill Station

My tank has a valve similar to the one linked below:

I have located a paintball company that can fill the tank inexpensively. I am assuming I am missing the connection they require to actually connect the tank to their system to fill, and that connection screws into the threaded port on the right of the valve image in the link above. If I am correct will someone link me to the connector I require?

Thank you for the help!

You need to ask them what they use to fill the tank. I assume they already have the screw in connection for that valve. I would call them get their email and send a pic of your setup

Sorry, I really am ignorant on this. If I understand you correctly then once filled that port does not need to be "closed" or "sealed" in some way before I can utilize the tank? Hope that question makes sense.

Your valve and whip are the most common type used in scuba. It's known as a K valve. The paintball place should have no trouble connecting to your bottle. Even if they have to use your whip, all they need is a mail Foster on their hose. If they only have a female hose end, you will need a male to male fitting that can be had for $1.50 to $15.00 depending on where you buy it, but they should have that anyway. I 'm assuming that you have the screw in K valve adaptor that you will need for that type of whip

Thank you. My Ninja Fill Station (K valve adapter) is actually an older style I believe. I couldn't find a picture of it. The one I have actually has a male foster, and the whip utilizes two female foster connectors. So possibly I am set.

Thank you for providing me the terminology. It sure makes searching a lot easier when you know the terms.
