I am sure there are many ways this could have been built but I just wanted something to seat beads and inflate tires on my ATVs in the field and I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money. The CO2 Paintball Universal Fill Adapter is the key part. It screws on the top of any paintball tank and when the knob is turned, a pin pushes down on the release pin of the paintball tank and releases the pressure out of the threaded hole on the side.
Materials:
1 CO2 Paintball tank (I used a 24 oz.)
1 CO2 Paintball Universal Fill Adapter (I got mine from ebay)
1 pneumatic tire chuck (I used a locking one)
1 1/8" street elbow
1 1/8" pipe nipple
1 1/4"-1/8" reducer
2 1/4"X1/4" Hose Barb Adapter
2 small hose clamps
A few feet of Braided Vinyl Tubing with a I.D of 1/4"
Teflon Tape
Tools:
2 Crescent Wrenches
Someting to cut the tubing with
Screwdriver
Assembly:
Note: It is important to use Teflon Tape on all of the threaded fittings.
Screw a hose barb adapter onto one end of the reduce and the pipe nipple to the other. Screw the street elbow onto the other end of the nipple. Screw the other end of the street elbow into the CO2 Paintball Universal Fill Adapter leaving the elbow pointing a few degrees to the side so the hose will have room to clear the CO2 Paintball tank.
Next, screw a hose barb adapter into the pneumatic tire chuck.
Cut the hose to your desired length and attach one end to the hose barb on the pneumatic tire chuck and the other end to the hose barb on the CO2 Paintball Universal Fill Adapter using hose clamps.
Attach a CO2 Paintball tank of your choice and you are done!!!
Make a holder for your CO2 Tire Inflator
My CO2 Tire Inflator fits snug in 4" schedule 40 PVC pipe.
Put a cap on one end of a PVC pipe and a threaded plug on the other and you're done!!!
Improvements:
I am going to try modifying the pneumatic tire chuck so it is always open. This way, if the pneumatic tire chuck comes off the valve stem and the CO2 tank is open, pressure will not build in the hose.
