Okay, I'm just being my normal cheap-ass self here. Wings and Wheels has
the fill valve I want on page 36 (Aerox PB (Schreder) In-line Fill
Valve - for 34 bucks. That seems... um, a bit high. Is it that special?
Thanks

Nothing wrong with shopping around. Suggest try Aerox direct, as they
have great customer service, or perhaps Spruce, Skygeek, Chief,
Wickes, etc.

Hello, if it makes the cost from Tim easier to accept, M&H wants
$50.00, also as trivia, while the fill valve would see 2200psi on a
full fill, the typical "jumbo D" 5.25X19 inch bottle at that pressure
is containing 640,000 lbs of force, not subtracting the ambient 1
atmosphere. WOW,

Good Lift,

I checked that out early on. I was really looking for a source of an
'industrial' nature. Often we pay a premium for identical parts/
assemblies that are commonly used in industry, just because we're
buying them from 'aviation' retail sources. This may or not be the
case with the 'MS' fill valve, but I certainly wasn't able to find
one. I just ordered the filling block from Aerox. No, it wasn't
cheap.
