How can you fill your pneumatic air gun?
Basically, two components are critical to filling a PCP air rifle or pistol.
- Which connector does my gun or fill probe have?
- Which connector does my pump, my compressor, or charging cylinder have?
What connector types are there?
Each pneumatic gun is supplied with a suitable fill probe. This fill probe consists of a connector for the pneumatic gun and a connector for connecting the fill probe to a pump, compressor, or cylinder. The connector for the gun can be specific to the brand (Anschütz, EDgun, Steyr Sport, Weihrauch, Walther, Umarex, etc.) and is not standardized. However, the other side of the fill probe always has one of the following three connector types:
- 1/8"
- 5/8"
- Foster quickfill
How do you find the right pump and adapters for your pneumatic gun?
First, you should know what connector your fill probe or gun has (1/8", 5/8" or foster quickfill).
ATTENTION: There are also pneumatic guns with a foster quickfill connector. If your pump or compressor has a quickfill connector, you do not need an additional adapter for these guns.
If you know the connector of your gun/fill probe, you can choose a pump, compressor, or cylinder with the fitting counterpart based on the connector (1/8", 5/8", or foster quickfill).

Do you already have a pump, a compressor or a charging cylinder and are looking for the right adapter for your pneumatic air gun?
We know it and you know it too: "It rarely ends with just one air gun".

You already own a pump, a compressor or a charging cylinder and are now looking for the right adapter to connect your fill probe. Once again, two factors are decisive:
- Connector on the pump (1/8", 5/8" or foster quickfill)
- Connector on the fill probe (1/8", 5/8" or foster quickfill)
