air bank....
Right, my mate has got some J's that he wants to use as an air bank. I've got an AP whip and compressor etc, however, when we tried to top them up today, i realised there is a one way valve in the J bottle, and the AP whip has a standard bullnose fitting - end result, the J won't top up obviously!

Just looked at the SAP catalogue, but can't see an adaptor that would fit. Before i call on Monday, does anyone know if they do one at all, or failing that, where i could get one from?

Thanks in advance

I honestly thought the only "J"s that had a one way valve in were diving grade "J"s . The normal welding J doesn't have it .

It's a pin that projects through the hole in the bull-nose.
It might be a bit messy to fabricate one but by no means impossible.

You can remove the bits that prevent you filling it.

PM Fatone, he knows how to do it.

Thanks guys, i'll delve a little deeper and i'll send fatone a PM as well. I think i've found a DIY solution as well, so i'll see if i can get it sorted and i'll post back the details.

On the back of the valve there is a nut.....close the valve, remove nut, take out the valve and spring the put the nut back in.

Simple
