By Michael from USA on 2012-06-27 17:11:47 Things I liked:easy to put on the k-valve and self explanatory.Things I would have changed:The pressure gauge goes up to 6,000 psi but the max on the adapter is 3,000 psi. Some people may get confused and put too much pressure through it. What others should know:If your getting this for a marauder you need to get another adapter to fit the air resovior. |  |

By Thomas from USA on 2011-04-03 14:27:06 Things I liked:Nice design, poorly executedThings I would have changed:All conections leaked badly. I was able to put teflon tape on the pressure guage and tighten it. To tighten the hose it must be attached to a SCUBA tank (no pressure) The bleed screw still leaks like a sieve, but I can fill the pistol even with the leak. What others should know:I called to get a new bleed screw and was told they didn't have any and no idea when they would come in. It was suggested that I tighten it with Vice Grips to lessen the leaking |

- Things I liked:Unit seems to be well made. I wasn't comfortable just buying the cheapest adapter available, we're talking about 3,000 psi after all. The hose is long enough for convenient filling. The pressure relief valve makes it easy to bleed the line quickly.
Things I would have changed:For the price I thought a female quick release adapter should be included. I had to buy an adapter to fill my MROD. The pressure gauge is small. A larger gauge that is easier to read would be nice.
What others should know:If you are buying this adapter to fill a Marauder you will need to buy the extra adapter. - Things I liked:easy to use
Things I would have changed:nothing - Things I liked:Long hose, fills my Marauder to a decent level 2500-2700psi
Things I would have changed:Have the psi gauge and rifle match on psi level: Marauder reads 2500-2700 psi and Air Venturi gauge reads the max 3000 which is incorrect! It is possible this might be for specialized for paintball guns or different PCP rifles! I finish filling my Marauder with the Benjamin pump to get to 3000 psi.
What others should know:Make sure to buy the Quick disconnect adapter it does NOT come with one! - Things I liked:Works great simple to use and fill my M Rod perfect. Just do not forget to buy the quick coupler to go with it.
Things I would have changed:I had to take the hose off at the main block and add some teflon tape to get it to seal up. Once I did that it has not missed a beat since. But it did leak when I got it. So a little teflon sealing tape and put it together now it is perfect.
What others should know:Be sure to buy the quick coupler if buying for your M-rod! - Things I liked:Commonality, function, perfect.
Things I would have changed:Not a thing
What others should know:Unless you really like to pump all afternoon, a scuba tank and adaptor is the only way to shoot a pcp. - Things I liked:Not that great leaks right out of the box. Called PA sent out a gasket turned out it wasn't the gasket, but it leaks through the fitting threads. Purchased plumbing tape solved problem!
Things I would have changed:Hose should be another 10 to 12 inches longer - Things I liked:Easy to use
Things I would have changed:It leaks around the adapter connection.
What others should know:Teflon and 1/4 o-rings are recommended. - Things I liked:Easy to use; lightweight
Things I would have changed:I would like to see a slightly larger gauge, even at the expense of adding weight.
What others should know:long hose makes it easy to use. - Things I liked:easy to put on the k-valve and self explanatory.
Things I would have changed:The pressure gauge goes up to 6,000 psi but the max on the adapter is 3,000 psi. Some people may get confused and put too much pressure through it.
What others should know:If your getting this for a marauder you need to get another adapter to fit the air resovior. - Things I liked:Very Well made for the money
Things I would have changed:Would make the charging hose longer as it is too short. One DOES NOT RECIEVE THE QUICK CONNECTOR NOR DOES THE AD REFLECT ONE IS NEEDED. Would state that in advertisment!!! - Things I liked:It hooked up easy.
Things I would have changed:Make the Hose at least 3ft long! I have to move it around for the air to stop leaking
What others should know:If you get this you also have to buy the quick disconnect which they should included in. It makes the price much higher. I returned mine and got it somewhere else a lot cheaper with a longer hose.CommentsBy Felipe from USA on 2012-05-23 0 
Can you share where to get the unit with longer hose?....proce?By matthew from USA on 2012-05-04 0 where did you get the one with the longer hose - Things I liked:It fits on my scuba tank with no clearance issues.
Things I would have changed:Hose is way too short which makes it awkward to fill any PCP rifle. Gauge is too small and I'm not confident of its accuracy. It's simply a poorly designed tool; there are better alternatives but they are twice the price.
What others should know:Don't buy a charger with a hose shorter than 3'. - Things I liked:It's a very well made item, and easy to use.
Things I would have changed:I would like to have the choice of a longer hose. Filling a rifle from a scuba tank using this adapter, is a little cumbersome with the short hose.
What others should know:The only comment I would have is that when filling a gun, do it slowly as high pressure air transfer causes heat.CommentsBy arty from USA on 2012-01-10 0 ive seen these adaptors before, used in paintball as well. the main body of this is aluminum, NOT stainless steel, as such the stainless steel screws/bolts can easiy cross thread the aluminum block. and dont believe the psi rating either... - Things I liked:Good price on the adapter and hose. Easy to install and use.
Things I would have changed:Why didn't you tell me that it is useless without a disconnect? I could have bought both at the same time and I could be using my Marauder now instead of waiting for the part that I need to get the air into the rifle. It would help if your descriptive in the catalog showed what connections are needed on what airguns.
What others should know:Buy the quick connect when you buy the scuba tank adapter. - Things I liked:after a couple tightinings of fittings no more air leaks, added the quick disconnect fitting , fantastic worked just fine.
What others should know:typical scuba tank only holds 3,ooo PSI just like the Marauder rifle, so at first fill up, pressure drops below 3000 and steady there after,but don't get me wrong it can sure save a lot of hand pumping to get the gun up to 3000 PSI. - Things I liked:It 's very sensitive and accurate as far as I can tell.
Things I would have changed:A longer hose is REALLY necessary. There's no room for positional adjustments. I.E. if you're cradling a rifle in one hand and filling with other and need to even slightly change position, you could start to tip the tank in whatever direction you move. A longer hose makes filling more comfortable.
What others should know:It does tend to leak a little around the tank seal upward of 2000lbs. I think the O ring (Supplied with the tank NOT this product) doesn't have a large enough wall diameter and isn't getting enough "squish" to make an effective seal. Easy fix. - Things I liked:nice design,
Things I would have changed:add a longer hose
What others should know:try to find a longer hose adapter, its hard to find a package deal with options allowing you to get a adapter with a suitable hose for easyer access to air gun fittings - Things I liked:Nice design, poorly executed
Things I would have changed:All conections leaked badly. I was able to put teflon tape on the pressure guage and tighten it. To tighten the hose it must be attached to a SCUBA tank (no pressure) The bleed screw still leaks like a sieve, but I can fill the pistol even with the leak.
What others should know:I called to get a new bleed screw and was told they didn't have any and no idea when they would come in. It was suggested that I tighten it with Vice Grips to lessen the leaking - Things I liked:Quality product and well made.
Things I would have changed:I would like to see a larger pressure gauge. Also the relief valve/screw could be larger.
What others should know:The hose was not screwed tight to the adapter and I had to reinstall with applying some teflon tape on the threads and tightening the hose to the adapter. The pressure gauge is not very accurate, mine was off by 800 psi. - 123
