Virtus Probe Nipple Size

[AutobotXJ]

Does anyone have information on the nipple type that I need to buy for a Sig Sauer Virtus? The inner oring in the fill probe nipple turned into dust and so I have a very bad leak from the tip. I ordered 3 nipples that I thought would work, but none are the right diameter or the pitch in the thread is off. I had the same issue with my Airforce Condor and ended up buying a new bottle because I couldn't find the right probe nipple and each unsuccessful order takes over a week to arrive. I wish the companies were more open with the size of their nipples. Maybe you can even direct me to a more universal bottle that is compatible with the virtus? I appreciate any help!
Mahalo,

I’m going through the same thing. The only I ring replacements I found were too bulbous and wouldn’t allow the pressure in correctly. I’m bummed out

I don't think I follow, I've a Virtus and the bottle's fill probe is made of steel. So there's an o-ring inside of that? I'd take it to an airsoft store, or a very good hardware store with an extensive display of plumbing and pneumatic rings. Like from Ace in Dubuque, I was able to get some rings and washers to successfully mod the funky barrel adjustment nut (infamous for jamming) on a Ruger 10-20 Takedown. Not every hardware store has such a large selection of that kind of stuff though, most have a nut display that may still have what you need, but not an extended selection of stuff like the Ace I mentioned.

Perhaps either a rubber o-ring or plastic washer would work there. Or how about just a good wrapping of teflon tape? Mine's not broken so I don't really know what'd work. Good luck.
