Posted August 13, 2024Aug 13 comment_4140231 Hi Just brought the GX pump cs3 compressor, looks a nice bit of kit, the compressor has what I think is a foster fitting and my air rifles all have the fitting in the pic that then went into a dive bottle fitting, do I need some sort of male to male fitting , I had a look on best fittings and there are so many different ones on there I have no idea what I need. Thanks chris

Most of the Chinese pumps use m10x1 threads where most UK probes use 1/8bspp threads so the chances are his probes will not fit directly onto the hose on the compressor, what the O/P needs is a 6mm foster male, here is a link to the correct part. https://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shop/quick-coupler-kits-and-parts/plugs/best-fittings-qc03-quick-coupler-plug/

Thanks Chris

August 13, 2024Aug 13 Author comment_4140295 Thanks everyone I shall order the above from best fittings and try not to cook this one ?, £385 from Amazon this one and it does look to be well constructed and very compact. Cheers chris
