Yes. The pressure hose has a 1/8″ BSP female fitting on the end.
The EC-3000 can fill large cylinders. When filling large cylinders the compressor will go through several cooling cycles. It is important that large cylinders should only be filled by competent and qualified people. It is also important to remember that this compressor was designed from the ground up for filling guns directly and is very fast at filling them, so you should also be asking do I need to be filling cylinders?
The compressor cannot be powered by a 12 volt power supply.
The on board water separator on the EC-3000/EVO removes the majority of water and for filling guns only will be adequate for most users. We do now offer the Dry-Pac Pro Air Dryer Filter which offers additional moisture removal for heavy users of large cylinders/bottles/tanks and in particular we would recommend for people filling steel tanks/bottles.
Non-Return valve problem. Service required. Contact for servicing via: sales@hillpumps.com
Bleed screw not tight enough. Hose connections to pump and/or rifle not tight enough, this includes any adaptors connected to the end of the hose.
Important that the bend radius is not less than 30mm i.e no sharp bends in the hose. This can cause a weakness if the hose is kept in a sharp angle.

It is approximately 75dB during operation.
This usually occurs when the pressure is below 50bar, this is rare to happen at higher pressures. Some Air Rifles with integral cylinder attached to the rifle requires cocking, by the lever, to stop any bleed from the trigger and then will seal the cylinder to be pumped.

Most rifle manufacturers supply the fitting probe with your gun or rifle. This needs attaching directly to the end of the hose. The hose has a 1/8″ BSP female swivel, which requires the filling probe to have a 1/8″ BSP male with cone seat. This then needs attaching to the hose and with 2 spanners nip up tightly. This must be an air tight fit or leaks may occur.
