What's the name of the fitting for tank fill nipples?
My racing team's looking at filling our tank(s) with something from Air Liquide, but we need the adaptor.
Thanks!

A little google-fu yielded this:

I think the common name is 'high flow'(that's what mcmaster calls them). Body size is 1/8" NPT. Brand names: Foster - FST series, Parker - ST series, Dixon Perfecting - E series, Hansen - ST series.
When I built my booster, I bought all my HP fill stuff here www.scubacompressor.com. Not the cheapest, but they were reliable.
First you used a Ninja tank to hold air for your transmission or something. Now you need a fill nipple fitting. What's next? Mac valves for your cylinders?
First MAC's I got were way too small, we're using Clippards now :)
Weird. Those Parker 1/8 NPT nipples are only rated to 4200 psi.
Having a hell of a time navigating McMaster - got a link?

This is "high-flow" quick disconnect fittings. It looks like paintball fill nipples, but I'm not 100% sure.
Ya I found that, but using my calipers on my bottle, I couldn't find anything that matched.
Thanks though.
