Page 5 - Air Venturi Scuba Tank Yoke Reviews

Worked well. No complaints.

Very good quality hardware, hose seems a little lite for 3000lbs of pressure.

Better hose, and include quick disconnect for your gun.

This set up should last several years.

Easy to use...kind of.

It needs to be made of either marine grade brass or stainless steel. Longer hose.

This item is machined, sloppily, from aluminum. The threads are very coarse for all fittings and the clamp screw. The relief valve leaks a small amount of air during fill. I got tired of trying to use it and went to my local dive shop and spent the $$$ on a premium adapter then went to my local Parker hose retailer and had a 3 foot hose made up (smaller diameter and rated to 6000PSI). Now everything is working like it should.

Accurate gauge, Nice materials and build quality.

Longer hose.

Works good.

Good overall adapter.

Larger pressure GAUGE.

The hose leaked. It needed some teflon and tightening.

Works fine on the benjiman discovery and marauder. Removed the hose and screwed in the air force adaptor and filled the condor. Will have to get a quick connect for air force adaptor now to make it more convenient

Fix clearance problem on some tank valves.

On some tank valves there may be a small clearance problem.Mine is tight but works.Some have had to grind a small amount for clearance.

Fits my 80c/ft tank like it was made for it (doh!)

There is a relief hole on the top side of the adapter that releases pressure on the hose after you've filled your gun. The first time I used this, I got a blast of air right in the face. No harm done, but if a bit of dirt or debris from shipping (or residue from the machining operation) been in that hole, it could have been a problem. If the manufacturer had just drilled the vent out the bottom instead of the top, there would be no issue.

Nothing. Works just like it was intended to. I can't imagine filling my rifle with a tire pump.

Nothing because it doesn't actually work with the scuba tank Pyramyd ships (Leisure Pro 80# Yellow Tank with K-Valve).

I went with Pyramyd on the purchase of a gun (Marauder) and the air refill system because I wanted to be sure it would all work, being my first PCP gun. Turns out that it doesn't work. I took the tank, k-valve and the scuba-yoke (what Pyramyd calls the Scuba Tank Adaptor and Hose) to my local dive shop for assembly and filling--the tank and k-valve are identical to what is sold at the dive shop. Unfortunately, after the dive shop personnel looked it over and and over, it appears that this Pyramyd supplied adaptor is too thick on its two long sides which doesnt allow it to set down properly over the k-valve. This THICKNESS causes it to set too high which negates any possible functionality with the Pyramyd supplied valve. My conclusion: Pyramyd has no clue that it is selling something that doesnt work.

Another reviewer mentioned having to GRIND this adaptor down at the point where it straddles the k-valve. I haven't decided whether or not to do this because it is quite likely that grinding this part will void any warranty on the part and on Pyramyd's commitment to "satisfaction guaranteed". Grinding may actually be hazardous since the adaptor was engineered the way it is to work under extremely high pressure. I called Pyramyd about the problem and so far they have been no help. This is my first purchase from them which disappoints, to say the least. I may send the whole affair back to them (gun, scope, case, tank adn adaptor) and go with a retailer who will stand behind what they sell.

Quality looked to be good

Would not fit my scuba tank.

If you look at the review's you will notice that some not all had to grind the clamp to fit. I did not have a tank when I purchased the valve. When I purchased a tank it was past 30 days. So I had to pay for return shipping. The girl I talked to said they have had trouble with some of the clamps not fitting on tanks.

This adapter does what it is designed to do and is very easy to attach to a scuba tank.

I would like to see a larger gauge and a longer hose.

If ordering this for a Benjamin Marauder do not forget to also order the "Female quick-disconnect adapter with male thread" or else you won't be able to connect it to the gun.

Excellent heavy duty build quality, it works great. Very simple to use. I had never filled a PCP rifle before in my life, it took only seconds to learn how to use this fill adapter setup.

Could use a larger gauge, it's a bit small for older eyes.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do with no leaks and good gauge accuracy as far as I can tell.

Put on/off indications for the pressure release valve on the top (gauge) side of the device, so you don't have to lean over to remind yourself which way to turn the knob. Maybe make the hose slightly longer, if such could be done without raising the price any higher than it already is.

Just be sure to tighten everything snugly before starting to use, and everything should be fine. Periodically check the big screw/bolt that holds the adapter on the scuba tank for tightness.

Works great, but there is a problem if fitting to a Genesis combo Din/K valve.

The width (thickness) ,of this Kingman tank adapter and hose, makes it hit slightly on the casting of the Genesis combo valve. It is necessary to remove some metal with a file or grinder from either the tank valve or this adaptor to get the two to allign correctly with the K valve O-ring. If tis Kingman adapter was made slightly (maybe 1/16") thinner, it would have no problemwith this tank valve.

You can probably use this fill station on any other scuba tank that has a standard K valve adapter, This Genesis DIN/K valve combo may be the ONLY exception. After making the adjustments, the fit was tight and works perfectly. Again, stay away from a Genesis Pro DIN/K-combo valve for this particular application and everything should be fine.

Longer hose would be nice

Works perfectly,,,Easy to use

Longer hose would be nice

It performed well with Evanix. Unit seems solid and will likely hold out for a few years with proper care and handling.

I would have liked to see a metal braded hose; however ... unless the air tank is detachable, a metal braded hose would scratch something fierce if not very carefully handled.

This is exactly what you need for a scuba tank and a Evanix product. The price is fair/competative. Good build. Safe.

The fact that I don't have to hand pump my Benjamin Discovery about 150 times to reach 2000 psi. Yes, 150 times. Even 50 pumps takes away from the fun of shooting a PCP rifle and doesn't do anything to stead your aim after that workout. This adapter allows refills faster than the time it takes to connect it to the SCUBA tank. I threw the hand pump in a drawer as a back-up. I Love this setup!

The instructions are a little short on information. This apparatus allows for extremely fast fills and there should be more caution against overfilling your gun tube; which could explode in worst case.

Verify that the unit will fit your SCUBA K-valve. I had to grind a notch in my adapter. No big deal for me but it might be for you.

Well made sturdy construction and tight connections.

I would like a larger pressure gage for my old eyes. The hose could be 1 foot or so longer.

Adding a little scuba silicone greases to the gasket ring to help with quick disconnects.
